A king is dead, and the throne stands unclaimed.
As nobles gather to mourn, the royal court fractures into factions. Three heirs emerge, each backed by powerful allies, ancient laws, and dangerous ambitions.
But the king’s final decree shatters everything.
Invoking an ancient and forbidden custom, he names his daughter, Ratnaprabha, as his sole heir.
In a world where power is guarded by bloodlines, tradition, and steel, a woman was never meant to rule.
Surrounded by scheming ministers, rival princes, and a court where even grief is a weapon, Ratnaprabha must rise...or be erased.
Because in Avanti, a crown is not inherited.
It is survived.
