As she tries to understand what happened and how to return, her presence begins to affect the lives of those around her, especially the kingdom's stern yet curious young king. Her journey becomes one of adaptation, mystery, and discovering her own strength in a world entirely unlike the one she left behind.

    I glare at him, yanking at the bonds. He laughs softly. "Oh princess, you're so delicate. Do not struggle, we wouldn't want you to break, would we?" He whispers. I snarl at him but he's right, I'm sick and weak at the moment and the cold rain isn't helping matters. I turn away, coughing and choking on blood, but swallow it quickly, not wanting anyone to know my state. He smirks slightly. "Why are you so cruel?" I ask curious at his behavior. In the Castle I was kept away from the outside world by my parents, who told me of the dangers that lurk in it. However the servants and the cooks, who lived outside the protective wall of the Castle, always seemed like good people. "Cruel," he scuffs. "I am not cruel. Your kind is. Sitting in your castle, while families starve, homes burned to the ground because the blasted taxes are too high to pay. Cruelty, my dear Princess, is a word you and your family are all too familiar with." His words felt like a slap in the face. He can not be speaking truth. The kingdom loves my parents and they would never allow their people to starve. #384 in Historical Fiction 3/27, #361 in Historical Fiction 3/28, #312 in Historical Fiction 3/30, #291 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #287 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #285 in Historical Fiction 4/10, #265 in Historical Fiction 4/24, #256 in Historical Fiction 5/7, #225 in Historical Fiction 5/13. #218 in Historical Fiction 5/15, #119 in Historical Fiction 5/17, #112 in Historical Fiction 5/26, #95 in Historical Fiction 5/27, #83 in Historical Fiction 5/31, #67 in Historical Fiction 6/1, #53 in Historical Fiction 6/15, #26 in Historical Fiction 6/23, #20 in Historical Fiction 6/25, #16 in Historical Fiction 6/26, #13 in Historical Fiction 7/2, #10 in Historical Fiction 7/8, #5 in Historical Fiction 7/10, #12 in Historical Fiction 9/2, #13 in Historical Fiction 9/4, #7 in Historical Fiction 9/5, #5 in Historical Fiction 9/6, #7 Historical Fiction 1/8

    "कालः क्रूरः-Time is merciless. But love... perhaps, is eternal." One moment, Urvashi was a second-year MBBS student, chatting with her friends. The next, she awakens in a world veiled in sandalwood scented air, echoing chants of a distant past and dharma. It's not a dream; it's Ancient Bharat―a land ruled by power, prophecy, and peril. Caught between conspiracies that could shatter kingdoms and secrets that could destroy her, Urvashi becomes the anomaly the sages never foresaw. And in the heart of the storm stands him―the Emperor of one of the greatest dynasties, Priyadasi Ashoka Maurya. With eyes like dusk and words that burn like agni, he says she's his vidhi, his fate and vows. "त्वं मम जीवने प्रभा असि"∿"You are the light of my life." But when love comes wrapped in clandestine royal chains and enemies lurk beneath golden thrones, Urvashi must decide: Will she return to her world, or become the legend...and the focus of his obsession?

    She was young, reserved and a complete book lover. A rather curvy girl with hazel eyes. He was strange with an always bored look but had an unnatural glint. You could say he was inhumanly beautiful with a perfect set of blue eyes. . . . "I'm not interested in whatever pledge father had with the Gregory's. I will not marry that girl mother" He barks angrily as he stomps toward the foyer. "Besides I heard she has the most boring set of hazel eyes" He adds as he mentally face palms at such a weak excuse. "Alex you have to do this, not for yourself but for your father.. - the kingdom" his mother pleads as she tries to catch up with him. "How would the kingdom look at a king who cannot honour a pledge" she says. He groans furiously this was a waste of time. Alexander freezes midway as a foreign memory flashes through his mind. He wasn't even interested in hazel eyes
