Crowned in Lies
She was born with a crown. He was raised with a gun. Eighteen-year-old Akashi Singh Ranawat is no ordinary girl-she's the hidden heir to the royal throne of Udaipur. After a brutal attack left her family dead and the world believing she perished too, she was raised in shadows and trained in silence. Now, freshly graduated from military school, she returns to Udaipur-not as a princess, but as Akashi Mehra, the adopted daughter of a humble restaurant family. Her mission? To live, learn, and one day reclaim her kingdom on her terms. But Royal Crown College, where her parents once fell in love, is no haven anymore. Enter Raunak Singh Rathore-twenty-two, ruthless, and heir to Delhi's deadliest mafia empire. Rules the students like a dark prince, and never loses a fight... or a girl. Until her. She defies him without knowing who he is. He marks her without knowing who she's becoming. What begins as a dangerous bet to break her turns into an obsession that could burn kingdoms to the ground. And in a college where everyone wears masks, only one truth remains: Crowns are forged in blood. But the deadliest ones are crowned in lies.
