Description
When Samrat Harishchand has a dream that visualised him losing his kingdom, the only way to save it, the astrologer tells him, is his most precious person, and the most valuable possession of his, his only daughter, Princess Vallari. Refusing to tell him anything beyond that, the astrologer demands to meet the Princess who's been out of sight for years. And now, the Emperor is left with no choice but to summon his daughter back to the palace. Princess Vallari, the only daughter of the Emperor of Kosala, has mostly spent an anonymous life, travelling constantly, if she'd be a physician today, she'd be an astrologer tomorrow, yet, her disguises such, no one could tell it was her. All she'd have as companions, would be her horse, and her childhood friend and her maid, who were willing to leave the palace behind to be with her, to accompany their Princess as long as they could. But as a growing, educated woman, of marriageable age and with a pretty face, life hasn't been exactly easy on her, yet, for her, it's been far better than living in the palace behind closed walls. However, when she's summoned back to the palace by her father, all because of a mere dream, Vallari knows she has no room to refuse. So when Vallari travels back to Kosala, after years, she realises a lot has changed. And what has changed the most, are the politics, and the amount of rivals. Kosala is collapsing, and the only way to save it, the royal astrologer tells her, is an alliance with the powerful rival region, the insufferable Prince of Avanti, Prince Kushagra. And that's the last thing Vallari would do, even if the other option is death. And now, tied in an unwanted alliance, with her freedom gone, confined behind the walls of the palace, she would do anything to change her father's mind. But when her hidden identities are on stake with the Prince's threats, she's compelled to give in and now all she has in platter, is a forced alliance with someone she vehemently detests.
