Kirti's life was ordinary-until she met Zavi, her best friend's adoptive brother, a boy too otherworldly to be real. With piercing eyes and a mysterious cat that only Kirti could see, Zavi was a puzzle she couldn't resist. But behind his perfect facade lay a dark truth: he was the destined king of Ashudhar, a brutal world in a parallel dimension where power was absolute, and mercy was a myth.
In Ashudhar, humans like Kirti are nothing but slaves, and Zavi is bound by blood to a legacy of cruelty. Yet, their forbidden connection defies the rules of their worlds. Torn between duty and desire, Zavi is everything Kirti should fear-but he's also everything she can't seem to let go of.
As the shadows of rebellion rise and secrets unravel, Kirti must decide if she can stand beside the man destined to rule-or if she must fight the king fated to destroy her. When love and power collide, will they survive the chaos, or will their bond become their ultimate downfall?
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy and forbidden romance, The Cruel King of Ashudhar is a tale of passion, betrayal, and the fine line between enemies and lovers.
