And it has chosen its Bearer. Follow the journey of Raghav, a reluctant seeker drawn into a destiny he never asked for, and Anaya, a mysterious girl bound to the Vault in ways even she does not understand.

The Maratha's Bride
She threw wine in his face, not knowing he was a prince. He vowed to break her kingdom, not knowing she would haunt his thoughts. In the shadow of Devgarh's gilded halls, secrets simmer and blood spills. Yuvraj Shivendra Rao Bhonsle comes to Devgarh to unite the Rajputs and Marathas against the barbaric Dara Khan. But instead of allies, he finds betrayal, bloodshed-and her. Mrinalini Rathore hides behind her veils and sharp tongue, determined to survive a palace that despises her. The last thing she needs is the arrogant Maratha prince she accidentally humiliated to see through her façade. Yet every glance between them crackles with something neither can afford. He shouldn't want her - not a woman from the kingdom that betrayed him. She can't want him - not the enemy her family would rather see dead. But as blades clash, secrets unravel, and their worlds collapse around them, their hearts betray them in ways more dangerous than any war. He fights for vengeance. She fights for freedom. But in each other, they might just find ruin - or salvation.

Bound to a ruthless assassin who trusts no one, a golden boy with power he doesn't understand, and a circle of allies whose loyalty is never certain, Mara must fight not only the monsters stalking the city-but the fracture spreading through her own flame. Desire and betrayal walk hand in hand. Every choice costs blood. And in the end, the greatest threat may not be the darkness waiting in the shadows... but the god within her, desperate to break free.Complete
