She was meant to be a pawn in his game of power.
He had everything calculated: a political marriage to Aadhya Rajput would secure his claim to the Rajput throne. The people adored her, the kingdom would fall into line, and the two powerful families would unite. It seemed like the perfect plan. But from the moment he laid eyes on her, things weren't as simple as he expected.
She isn't any normal princess; she is a storm, a force he doesn't understand. Though she's promised to him, her heart belongs to someone else-Reyaansh Yadav, someone who has captured her soul in a way Abhimanyu never could. She keeps her love hidden, and yet, the more Abhimanyu watches her, the more he feels the pull of her untamed spirit. Her pain, her longing, it all ignites something within him.
She is a woman with secrets.
And every secret she keeps could cost her everything.
He is a man with ambition.
And every decision he makes could destroy the very thing he desires.
As the palace walls close in on Aadhya, she begins to uncover disturbing truths about her father's reign, about the crown she's supposed to wear, and the dark legacy that haunts her family. Abhimanyu's own past is equally tangled-his claim to the throne is not as simple as it seems, and his own desires might drive him to betray everything, including Aadhya.
She wants to be free.
But freedom is a luxury no royal can afford.
He wants her love.
But he doesn't know if he can ever earn it.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, Aadhya and Abhimanyu must navigate their dangerous dance between love, duty, and the heavy cost of the crown. Will Aadhya escape the web of royal expectations, or will she sacrifice everything for the throne she never wanted?
