Stripped. Trained. Displayed - now Unleased. They say she was born of contradiction- A nobelman`s shame, A dancer`s curse. When her master`s kingdom fell, she was taken- not sold, not spared. Chaitrini arrives at the imperial court, veiled in silence and gold. The perfect offering for a king who collects beauty, and discards it just as easily. Chandrakaant, the dacoit king, watches her too long. His son, Prince Chittahaar, doesn`t watch her at all. Not at first. But empires shift in glances. Obsessions bloom in shadows. And the girl neither of them expected to matter... begins to matter too much. As king and the prince circle the same fire, Chaitrini says nothing. But she never came to entertain. THE DANCE BEFORE THE THRONE is the first standalone in The Revenance Series, a slow-burn dark romance of ritual, ruin, and the quiet undoing of powerful men - at the hands of the girl they thought they owned.
