In the grand kingdom of Agnidhar, where duty is law and tradition is unbreakable, Crown Prince Ekansh Agnivanshi is preparing to take the throne after his father's untimely death.But before his coronation, the royal council insists-he must first find a bride. The palace decides to invite 25 princesses from neighboring kingdoms to a grand festival " Agni Utsav" -an event that happens only once in 15 years , which would also help Ekansh choose his potential bride. 

Among the royal guests is Princess Mahitha, who arrives with her entourage, including Kalpana-her first maid, a woman meant to serve, not to be noticed. Kalpana-a woman of quiet grace, sharp wit, and a beauty that is impossible to ignore.  She has no place in Ekansh's world, yet he cannot look away. And before long, neither can she.

A prince bound by duty. A maid with no claim to a throne. A love that was never meant to be.

As whispers turn into scandal and duty clashes with desire, Ekansh must make an impossible choice. Will he follow his heart and defy an empire? Or will he bury his love and fulfill his destiny?

One festival. One love. And a kingdom that will never be the same again.

Khwaab~ The Rawal's Forbidden Bride  by destinywriterr
37 parts Ongoing Mature
I never intended to become entangled in their politics-let alone in the bed of their prince. I crossed deserts and seas, driven by a single hope: to save my brother, the only family I have, from a foreign land. He was captured and chained by the King of Hind during our war of conquest. But to free him, I became bound to the man who stole everything from me-the prince whose very name fills me with rage: Rawal Ekagraj. A single night with him shattered my honor, binding me to a fate I never chose. As the crowned Empress of Arab, I could never betray my people. Yet, he makes me falter. Why? His eyes-deep, dangerous, and impenetrable-hide dark secrets that pull me closer to a destiny I cannot escape. Now, I am his forbidden bride, trapped by vows I never wanted, and held captive in a kingdom that views me as the enemy. He was never meant to be mine, just as I was never meant to be his. Our love is as forbidden as it is undeniable, set against the backdrop of my lucious world steeped in magic, betrayal, and war. But Rawal is not the only danger I face. Dark forces rise from the shadows, and a magic older than time itself threatens to consume us both. But he is unknown to this. My past haunts me, my brother's life is slipping away, and the prince-my captor, my enemy-becomes the only solace I know. He seeks solace in me, and in his arms I feel a dangerous flicker of love. This is a tale of love, betrayal, and the ultimate battle between magic, loyalty, and destiny. How can two souls bloom when faith divides them? And when the moment comes to choose, will we sacrifice our hearts to honor the lands we came from? Or will we defy fate itself to survive its wrath?
