That every queen who enters its royal palace is doomed to vanish before she completes her first year of marriage. No bodies are ever found. Only silence remains. When Princess Mrinalini Rathore is forced into a political alliance with Veerendra Singh Devra the exiled prince of Amer who once vowed to destroy her kingdom she steps into a court that already expects her death. Veerendra does not promise her safety. He does not promise love either. He promises her death by the curse without getting blood on his hands. A perfect way to take revenge. But something about Mrinalini refuses to follow the pattern and something about Veerendra refuses to let her die like the others. As the palace begins to close in filled with old bloodlines, buried betrayals, and a curse that feels far too precise to be myth... Mrinalini is forced to confront a terrifying question: If every queen before her died... then what makes her think she will survive? Or worse.... what if surviving was never the plan at all? ✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦ Tropes: • Historical Romance • Revenge Marriage • Enemies to Lovers • Forced Proximity • Cursed Queen • Haunted Palace • Mystery + Suspense • He fell first and harder • Defiant female lead • Vengeance • Slow Burn ✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦ © 2026 authorwisteria, All rights reserved.
