Mrinalika Pratap Singh, the princess of Agnivan. Fearless, free-spirited, and raised with dreams of a perfect life, she believed she knew what her future would look like. Until one small word changed everything she had ever known.
"Yes."
She said yes to the monster, Sikander Mirza Khan, the King of Zarqaan, the most feared Sultan of Hind. He came to her kingdom with a plan to destroy it. He expected rejection. He expected the perfect excuse to wage war. But when Mrinalika looked straight into his eyes and accepted his impossible proposal, she shattered his entire plan with a single word.
She knew that Agnivan needed to be saved and if giving herself to the devil was the price, she was willing to pay it. She walked into Zarqaan believing she had sacrificed her freedom, her dreams, and perhaps even her happiness forever.
But somewhere between the cold glances and royal walls, she began seeing less of the monster and more of the man. In his green eyes, she found a strange sense of peace. In the husband she had once feared, she discovered the man who was willing to give her everything. And before she realized it, she fell for the one man she was supposed to hate.
Until the same man she trusted betrayed her.
And when everything she believed in came crashing down, she could only wonder how fate had brought her this far, only to break her again.
Because after the war, the sacrifice, the love, and the betrayal...
There was only one truth left.
She was...
Badshah's Begum Jaan.
