the royal rebel's heart

In the majestic kingdom of Vardhana, Prince Dev is known for his fierce loyalty and unwavering commitment to his people. Groomed to rule, his life follows a strict path set by tradition and duty. Yet, beneath his regal exterior lies a rebellious heart that yearns for freedom and the right to choose his own destiny. Everything changes when Princess Anika arrives from a neighboring kingdom as part of a political alliance. Anika is not the delicate, submissive princess everyone expects. Fiercely independent and skilled in sword fighting, she has no intention of being just a pawn in royal politics. Dev and Anika's initial encounters are fiery clashes, as their opposing beliefs about duty and freedom collide. However, when a dark conspiracy threatens to overthrow the royal family, Dev and Anika are forced to work together. As they uncover secrets that could shatter both kingdoms, their rivalry transforms into an unexpected and passionate bond. Caught between love and responsibility, Dev must decide whether to follow his heart or uphold the legacy he was born into. Anika, too, must confront her own fears of vulnerability and the reality that love might be the greatest rebellion of all.
