Shāntiḥ

The Kingdom of Rāthnānathi is left in chaos when the second Prince Chitrāngada is captured as a prisoner, along with twenty-one soldiers by Smaraṇāgarh. At an era when trade is slumping and relations with other states have been dwindling; Crowned Prince Adyānt has a choice to make. And he chooses the latter, travelling to Umeshnāgara for a trade agreement.

However, the Princess of Umeshnāgara, Irāvatī has no plan of letting him go easily. Soon the rumours of his marriage engulf the state. Wrecking the relationship between the brothers. He may have been crowned but the challenge to his superiority comes from his cousin, Śatruñjaya who lost his power due to Chitrāngada. The Palace of the King is filled with each one claiming legitimacy.

Shrouded by a relentless struggle for power, vengeance, relationships tainted with resentment, love for the family, and a marriage proposal. It is a tale to reach the end; to ensure peace. But a price had to be paid. But who would pay it?
