❝RUIN ME. BURN ME. I'M YOURS.❞

Kadar al-Din Rumi, Caliph of Khorashtar, is a cold-blooded murderer, and is known by the people of his country as such. Every dusk, he marries a new woman; and by dawn, he has slit her throat. It is a vicious cycle of murder and torment of girls and their families.

When the ruthless king sets his sights on the sister of Zeinab Nejem, Zeinab knows that she will never let a monster win. She decides to take her sister's place, to survive longer than any other one of King Kadar's wives, and then, when the time comes, to murder him the way he murdered so many.

What if Kaal, the cold and distant son of Bholanath and Mata Parvati, was destined for something far greater than simply fulfilling his duties? At the age of 22, burdened by the weight of his responsibilities, Kaal lived a life devoid of warmth and affection-until he met Dhara, the lively and fearless warrior who vowed to save her brother, Abhay, from the clutches of the dark sorcerer, Daitya. Their initial encounter was one of mutual distrust and conflicting ideals, but the battles they fought together began to unravel the walls around Kaal's heart. However, the world they live in is unforgiving, and love is often overshadowed by the looming threat of vengeance and dark magic. As Dhara steps into Kaal's life, he is forced to make a choice: remain the ruthless warrior he was always meant to be, or embrace the love that slowly begins to bloom in his heart. But with Daitya's power growing stronger and the past's unresolved bitterness threatening to consume them, the path to happiness seems almost impossible. Now, Kaal must decide: will he follow the path of duty that he has always known, or will he choose a different route-one where love, vulnerability, and the possibility of losing everything come into play? "Cursed with Destiny" is a story of fated encounters, the clash between duty and desire, and the difficult choices that define us.
