Born in secret to King Ferdinand of Aragon and his mistress, Elena de Aragon grows up forgotten by the empire that created her. Though renowned across Europe for her extraordinary beauty and sharp intellect, she remains little more than a royal bastard--useful only when politics demanded. When her father's death throws Spain into chaos, Elena is summoned home, only to vanish at sea after being captured by Ottoman corsair Barbarossa. Presumed lost and quickly overshadowed by the struggles of kings and queens, she is delivered instead to the court of Sultan Suleiman.
In Constantinople, the forgotten daughter of Spain rises from captive to favorite, from favorite to wife, becoming one of the most powerful women in the Ottoman Empire. As Haseki Sultan, she commands influence that reaches from the Mediterranean to the heart of Europe.
But when rumors emerge that Suleiman's mysterious queen is the long-lost daughter of Ferdinand of Aragon, Europe is thrown into turmoil. Ambassadors flock to the Ottoman court seeking proof, kingdoms whisper of alliances to reclaim her, and old loyalties clash with new power.
Caught between two empires and two identities, Elena must decide who she truly is: the forgotten princess Europe wants returned-- or the Ottoman queen who refuses to be forgotten

The Princess of Gandhara
𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗻𝗮 𝘅 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗶 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 🪷 "𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗻𝗮 : 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘄, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲." In the age of Sati Yug, there lived an Asura princess whose heart was captivated by the unmatched power and glory of Lord Vishnu. Believing it to be love, she desired to make him her husband. To win him, she performed severe penance and sacrificed comfort, yet Vishnu never accepted her. Heartbroken, the princess refused to let go of her dream. Seeing her stubborn devotion, the royal sages advised her to worship Lord Shiva, the one even Vishnu revered. Pleased by her tapasya, Mahadev appeared before her. But he spoke the truth-Vishnu would never accept her until she abandoned the darkness within her heart: pride, greed, desire, and selfish longing. But the princess would not surrender. She began an impossible vow-to chant one hundred billion mantras while standing upon a tree. She gave away her youth, beauty, and entire life to devotion. Even Mahadev was moved by her determination and decided that when her final chant was complete, her wish would be granted. Yet fate had other plans. When only one final name remained, old age claimed her life. She was reborn in Kaliyug, unaware of her past and disconnected from faith. But destiny drew her back to a Shiva temple. There, in a tragic accident, she took her final breath before the idol of Mahadev. From her lips escaped one forgotten word-Shiv. This time, Lord Shiva fulfilled his promise. She was reborn in Dwapar Yug as the daughter of Prince Shakuni of Gandhara. Bound by an ancient vow, Vishnu was now destined to marry her. But the question remains... Will Vishnu truly accept her? Will he marry her only as a duty? Or will a marriage born from vows and fate blossom into real love?

My Sin

"What wrongs have I committed, for you hate me this much? Did I do anything wrong for you to look at me with such contempt in your eyes? Was loving you such a sin?" I asked weakly "Your sin was that you loved somebody you weren't supposed to love," He responded coldly.
