CURSED ROYALS

Buried beneath centuries of dust and forgotten truth, a box was pulled from the earth—carrying a story history never fully told. A story of kings, battles, and blood that the world thought it already knew.

It didn't.

Niyati fell into a river in 2026 and woke up in 290 BCE—a stranger in a world that wasn't hers, living a life that didn't belong to her.

She has no way home. No one who understands her. Nothing familiar except the history she once read in books—history that was only ever half the truth.

And she is the half it left out.

Standing at the center of the greatest succession struggle of the Mauryan Empire, Niyati finds herself caught between two princes—Susima, the crown prince who makes her question everything she thought she knew about fate, and Ashoka, the prince history chose as emperor, whose ambition casts a shadow over everyone around him.

History recorded the victors.

It never recorded her.

Now Niyati must decide: will she follow her heart... or preserve the fate that was written more than two thousand years before she ever arrived?
