She stepped into his palace to uncover secrets. He stepped into her life to bury them. Aarohi Khurana, a young historian, arrives at the mysterious Rathoregarh Palace to uncover the truth behind her mother's disappearance. What she finds instead is a royal court haunted by betrayal, a family bound by blood and lies-and Rudransh Singh Rathore, the cold, ruthless crown prince whose gaze feels like fire... and danger. He is older. Untouchable. Unforgiving. But fate has other plans. And so does he. As palace walls whisper forbidden truths and a kingdom prepares for war, Aarohi is caught between history and obsession, love and destruction. Because some kings don't rule from thrones... They rule from the shadows
