In Celeia, shadows have eyes. And flowers have thorns. The night the King was murdered in the throne room, the crown wasn't the only thing that vanished. Olympia Onasis, the sole heir to the throne, was erased from existence as General Dumas seized power with an iron fist. Six years later, the princess's name is but a distant echo. But Olympia is still alive. Hidden under the alias Asteria, she has survived within the ranks of the Belladonnas-a clandestine order of outcasts, spies, and assassins where loyalty is sworn in poison. In this world of shadows, she has traded her silks for leather and her books for a blade, tempering herself for one purpose: to reclaim the kingdom that was stolen from her. Her guide through this underworld of betrayal is Iocasta, the enigmatic woman who pulled her from the carnage that bloody night. For years, Iocasta has been her mentor, her shadow, and her only certainty in a world where no one is who they claim to be. But as the drums of war begin to beat, Olympia is forced out of the darkness to play a lethal political game. To win back her throne, she must secure an army through a cold marriage pact with a foreign prince she has never met-all while the threads of a six-year-old conspiracy begin to tighten around her throat. As the rebellion nears, Olympia will discover that the Belladonnas hide more than they reveal. Who truly sent Iocasta the night of the regicide? In an order where secrets are the only currency, the truth might be more dangerous than the blade itself.

Historical Drama with Medieval style of Indian touch...

A crown can be worn. A mask must be lived. In a kingdom bound by an ancient law, a daughter became a son. A princess disappeared, and a prince was born from a lie. Now, the heir to the Granite Throne walks a razor's edge between duty and truth, guarded only by a knight who sees too much-and understands too little. But masks crack. Secrets bleed. And in the shadow of a looming coronation, a single glance can unravel an empire. What happens when the person you're sworn to protect is the fiction you must uphold? A tale of identity woven in deception, loyalty forged in silence, and the throne that demands everything-even the truth of your own skin.

In the summer of 1925, all of Russia turns its eyes to the coronation of Alexei II, a dazzling spectacle meant to reaffirm the strength of the monarchy. But beneath the splendour, a sinister plot is brewing in the shadows-a conspiracy within the Ballet Russes, where Bolshevik sympathizers conspire to strike at the very heart of the empire. As the grand event draws near, more and more people seem determined to make the new reign a short one. While the empire stands on the edge of peril, Princess Natalia Paley becomes ensnared in a dangerous fascination with Serge Lifar, a brilliant but subversive dancer with ties to the conspiracy. What begins as admiration soon turns into something far more reckless-a betrayal that could not only cost Natalia her friendship with Alexei but put the entire monarchy at risk. Meanwhile, Vladimir and Tata struggle to make it to the altar as their love is tested by endless delays and the meddling of Tata's formidable mother, Countess Brassova. As tensions rise and secrets from the past come to light, they are forced to confront whether their relationship can survive the forces working against them. For Irina and Feodor, the weight of responsibility as Viceroys of the Caucasus has cast yet another shadow over their once-passionate marriage.

Dearest reader, It is a truth rarely spoken aloud: when a foreign prince arrives in London under the guise of seeking a bride, society prepares for spectacle. What it does not prepare for... is war. Prince Jareth Thaddeus Kingswyck, heir to a formidable European crown, did not cross the Channel for romance. He came with suspicion, purpose, and an inconvenient theory about a certain distinguished family of Upper Brook Street: the Moreaus. At the heart of them - Miss Odette Seraphine Moreau. Newly debuted. Impeccably mannered. Possessed of a beauty that commands attention without asking for it. Her skin, rich beneath candlelight, unsettles the disciplined observer. Her gaze is steady. Her composure, infuriatingly serene. She does not simper. She does not flatter. And, most scandalous of all, she does not yield in spirit - even when forced in form. Whispers claim the Prince suspects her family of a diplomatic secret. Whispers claim Miss Moreau has made her displeasure unmistakable. Their encounters are not flirtations. They are arguments in private libraries. Tense exchanges along rose-lined terraces. Words delivered too softly and felt too deeply. He calls her evasive. She calls him arrogant. And yet - neither withdraws. One wonders what becomes of suspicion when it begins to resemble fascination. What becomes of disdain when it lingers too long between two who refuse to yield? For hostility, when confined, has a curious habit of transforming into something far more perilous: something that begins with accusation... and ends with a kiss. Whether that kiss shall mend reputations or unravel them remains to be seen. As ever, dear reader, There is nothing more dangerous than a prince who doubts... And a lady who dares him to.

In the ancient kingdom of Chitradrum, glory hides treachery and devotion battles desire. Prince Rudradev returns his home after long years to accomplish his rights. There, amidst silence and prayer, destiny binds him to Bhagavati- the eternal devotee of Shakti, whose divine grace turns into a forbidden, soul-stirring bond. Queen Bhagavati, graceful and intelligent, had come to Chitradrum as part of a powerful alliance. Their marriage was one of strategy, not passion. From the day she entered the palace, Rudradev treated her with kindness but emotional distance. He rarely visited her chambers and never noticed the way her eyes lingered on him with silent hope. Instead, he buried himself in diplomacy and warfare. The court whispered - some pitied Bhagavati, others envied her position. But she remained silent, her dignity unshaken. As kingdoms tremble and conspiracies rise, their union awakens a power that could either save Chitradrum or burn it to ashes. What truly drives Rudradev- spiritual devotion, duty to his kingdom, or hidden personal desires? Should Rudradev remain detached in meditation, or does destiny demand he embrace kingship? In politics, who is more dangerous-the enemy outside the walls or the conspirator within? What does true power mean-military strength, divine blessing, or moral integrity? Can love survive in a world shaped by power, duty, and divine destiny? To get the answers of these questions let's us dive into the royal tale of BHAGAVATI...
