Linked by desire, destiny, and a dangerous foe, four heirs each must decide what they will risk for a weapon worth dying for, and a love worth staying alive for in this debut erotic epic fantasy inspired by medieval India’s most epic love stories.


Taara, the newly crowned Queen of Abhaya, must marry whether she wishes to or not. Her betrothed is Garjan, Prince of Nandapore, a neighboring city-state full of secrets and spellcasters, ruled by a power-hungry king plotting to unearth a weapon that has only lived in myth…until now.

When she marries Prince Garjan, Taara does not know that Garjan’s heart lies with Bhediya, a courtesan with forbidden magic in her blood, nor that a member of Garjan’s concubine court will awaken desires of her own. 

With a goddess guiding her steps through an intricate web of politics and desire, Taara must decide — what will she risk for a weapon worth dying for, and for love worth life itself?
