The Cruel Crown

"If the crown fits, baby, you're going down"

Arundhati Shah was a mortal girl in the rule of the immortal Apsaras in the kingdom of Lanka, and you know how that goes. Cruel treatment from the heavenly beings because apparently, their egos were as large as their lives.

But if Aru's learned anything, power doesn't have much to do with mortality.

As a mortal girl in the rule of immortals, Aru had to find a way to make her life in this world worthwhile. And by worthwhile, she didn't mean getting spat on by the royals. No. She would be royalty in her own way, she would join the shadows as they schemed to overthrow the crown. She hated the royals. She despised them.

Is there a thin line between love and hate, though? Well...

When she meets Prince Aiden, the last of the Acharya line, things just become complicated when she's expected to kill him and take over the crown. However, she is just taught that in fact...

The Cruel Crown obeys nobody.

All of the characters (except my ocs) and og plot of tpq credits goes to the queen Roshani Chokshi! The general idea of the plot and the worldbuilding (tho its been changed a lot by me) credits goes to Holly Black!

Lastly, this plot and chapters of the fanfiction DOES belong to me, so if you steal it, I steal you.
