22-year-old Nisha Verma, a soft-hearted, emotionally neglected daughter of a cold, ambitious family, is sold into a royal marriage with the man whispered about in fear across the nation.
Armaan Singh Rathore - the ruthless heir of the Rajgarh kingdom, and the secret king of the Indian underworld - agrees to the match for reasons no one dares question. A man of shadows, silence, and absolute control, Armaan doesn't believe in love... until she enters his world like a prayer he never knew he needed.
Thrown into a palace lined with both gold and ghosts, Nisha must learn how to survive as a queen in a kingdom ruled by secrets. But Armaan's enemies are watching. Her past is not done haunting her. And love - when it blooms in the dark - can be deadly.
Will she tame the king?
Or will the crown consume her too?
