Beware, for even the mosquito can make the lion's eye bleed.

♛♛♛

Alia Preet grew up in the slums of Toshalwar, spending her days stealing from wealthy merchants and toying with the local police. But when she learns that she is the Lost Princess of Maurya, descended from the Gods, and heir to the throne, she is thrust into a world she doesn't understand. Now, she must embark on a sacred quest through a dangerous labyrinth of caves to revitalize her ancient bond with the Gods. 

Arjun Yadava is the Crown Prince of Yadav, a Kingdom on the brink of war with Maurya. A fearless and stoic warrior, he cannot let Alia complete the ritual. A newly empowered Mauryan Queen would decimate his Kingdom. 

And so begins their game of cat-and-mouse. As they war with each other, and their growing feelings, Alia and Arjun must decide where their loyalties lie: with the vows they made to their countries, or the glittering promise of something better?

" रोज भगवान से यह ही प्राथना है, मर जाते तो अच्छा होता, हम ना होते पर जहा तो होता।" Born an orphaned princess, Nayantara's marriage to the Crown Prince of Magadh held her last shred of hope. Little did she know that the threads of their relationship would be woven with deceit, shrouded in secrets, and obscured by shadows. As Nayantara's heart aches from the heartbreak inflicted by her husband's deception, she faces a daunting choice: Can she find it within herself to forgive him and mend the shattered pieces of their bond? In the midst of this turmoil, one question lingers: Can Nayantara defy her destiny, or must she learn to embrace the unexpected path that fate has woven?" The much destined to be an Empress sounds blissful the more cursed it actually is.
