_annika_arya_
A marriage inked in blood before they ever met, sealed by a promise neither of them made.
Bhallaladeva, celebrated commander, expects another conquest, until the girl arrives with a quiet fire that burns his certainties to ash.
Anagha, thrust into a crown she never asked for, finds the one heart she can't command is her own.
While kingdoms watch, treaties tighten, and enemies circle, two strangers must decide: live as duty's perfect portrait, or rewrite the legend-together.
