Once, she was just a little girl waiting for her mother and brother to tuck her into bed. But that night never came. Days turned into years, and Kaushalya-crown princess of Padmadesha-was left with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart full of sorrow. Her father's endless marriages only deepened her wounds, and the palace she called home became her cage.
With time, she found solace in her nanny, Manohari, and the gentle presence of her cousin, Shyam. Yet, even their love couldn't erase the ache of being left behind. But Kaushalya was no longer a helpless child. She grew into a woman of grace and strength, her name revered across the land.
Just when she thought she had control over her life, fate struck once again-she was to be married off to the five sons of Mayurakshi, men known as the "Gems" of their kingdom.
Was this another cruel twist of destiny? Or would this marriage unravel the truth she had spent a lifetime searching for?
A tale of lost innocence, hidden betrayals, and the rise of a princess who refused to be forgotten.
