A Prince Without Sorrow

In the Ran Empire, winged serpents soar, giant leopards prowl, and witches burn blue as they die. Prince Ashoka, the youngest son of Emperor Adil Maurya, is an outcast for opposing his father’s brutal persecution of the Mayakari witches. When the emperor dies, Ashoka is sent to govern a dangerous region haunted by spirits — a post many believe is a death trap. Meanwhile, Shakti, a Mayakari witch who has vowed to follow a pacifist path, watches her village destroyed and her aunt murdered. Her desperate act of vengeance unleashes consequences she never foresaw. As rebellion brews and loyalties fracture, Ashoka and Shakti’s fates entwine. Both must choose between justice, survival, and power — even if it means becoming what they most fear.
