✨AUTHOR'S NOTE✨

Dear Readers,

Welcome to a brand new world, one filled with characters who will make you question their choices, love that breaks all boundaries, and revenge that is deeply satisfying yet painfully bittersweet. This is not a story driven by mindless violence. It's a story that will connect with your soul, one that may either shatter your heart or heal it in ways you never expected.

Though this is a historical fiction, all characters, locations, customs, and events are entirely imagined. Any resemblance to real people, places, or events is purely coincidental.

This is a love story like never before, a forbidden love between a princess who has always had everything she ever desired, yet yearns for something out of reach, and a bandit who has spent his life taking whatever he wanted, until he meets the one thing he can't have. When the wild-hearted bandit sets his sights on the untouchable princess, will love bloom or will destruction follow?

For those who have read my other novel Sanjog, if you're expecting sweet romance or morally sound leads like Dhruv and Tara, let me stop you right here. These characters are red flags from the very beginning. They are selfish, impulsive, and driven by their own desires. Don't say I didn't warn you.

This book contains dark romance elements, unapologetic characters, and scenes that are emotionally intense and morally grey. If you're looking for a fluffy, lighthearted read, this might not be it. But if you're ready for a raw, emotional, and boundary-pushing story, then you're in the right place.

This story will be told in a mix of Hindi and English to preserve its authenticity and emotional depth.

Please be aware of the following:

⚠ TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠

★ Violence, kidnapping, and mature content are part of this story. Some scenes may be emotionally intense or triggering.

★ This is a dark romance involving themes of obsession, revenge, power imbalance, and characters who do not always make the right choices.

★ Expect forceful themes, forced proximity, and morally grey leads. These characters are not heroes or saviors — they are flawed, messy, and real in their own ways.
