To the world, Samriddhi is a golden empire of endless wealth. To Malini, it is a gilded cage where she is just a lowborn gardener scrubbing dirt in the shadows. All she wants is to save her meager servant wages, buy a tiny flower shop, and finally be free. She keeps her head low and stays hidden in a forgotten courtyard where no noble ever sets foot.
Until her quiet sanctuary is breached by King Surya, the unyielding, radiant ruler of the empire.
One belongs to marble and gold, while the other belongs to dust and shadows. But as a silent tension draws them together, they find themselves caught in a dangerous, forbidden bond. In a kingdom as rigid as Samriddhi, a wildflower cannot bloom in the sun without burning to ash.
