The Abandoned Prince

Seven years of royalty. Fourteen years of silence. One night to reclaim it all.

At seven years old, Prince Rudraksh Rathore was disowned by his father and branded a curse by his kingdom. To save him from the palace that demanded his blood, his mother took him and vanished into the shadows of the common world, carrying a secret she didn't yet know: she was pregnant with his sister.

Fourteen years later, the Prince is dead. In his place stands Rudraksh Verma, a cold, student and worker by day and a brother by night. He lives in a modest 2BHK apartment, braids his little sister Ishika's hair every morning, and protects the only two people who never gave up on him. He wants nothing to do with the throne that discarded him.

But fate has a wicked sense of irony.

When a high-stakes assassination attempt brings the Royal Family to his doorstep during the holy night of Shivaratri, Rudraksh's instinct to protect overrides his need to remain hidden. One bullet meant for the King, one leap from a "stranger," and the secret of fifteen years begins to bleed into the light.

The Royals see a familiar face in a commoner. Ishika sees a world she was never told she belonged to. And Rudraksh? He see the enemies who once tried to kill him, now sitting at his father's table.

He isn't going back for the crown. He's going back to ensure that this time, the blood on the marble isn't his mother's.
