Remember King Dushyant, my protagonist from King in Hiding? I’ve written a novella about his parents, and I’m excited to share it with you later this year.
Princess Neela faces the unbearable prospect of marrying a man old enough to be her father. Desperate to escape her fate, she turns to the only person who can help—King Bhodar, a ruler drowning in sorrow and toddy. Initially repulsed by his drunken conduct, Neela discovers a kind heart beneath his troubled exterior and slowly begins to see the man he could be. As they draw closer, Neela becomes determined to heal his wounds and help him reclaim his strength. But time is running out, and she must discover if love can truly conquer all and set them both free before it’s too late.
Will Neela and Bhodar find salvation in each other, or will their pasts forever bind them to lives they never wanted?
