At the age of sixteen, Lilavati was banished from her mother's kingdom by her stepfather. She was the rightful heir, but since the queen was carrying a new child, the girl had to choose between exile and death. Instead of facing the executioner, she fled into the night like a thief, leaving behind everyone and everything she had ever loved, including the dashing knight who stole her young heart, Naresh. Now, ten years later, Leelavati is no longer the naive and helpless princess she once was. Life on the run had hardened her. She also gave the girl the opportunity to come up with a plan to take back the kingdom that rightfully belongs to her, as well as get to the criminals, assassins, and a ruthless sorcerer named Kirin, who can make this plan a reality. If she could get the wizard to focus on the goal rather than the heady attraction between them, that would be exactly what was needed. She will have everything that is rightfully hers. But she was not the only one who changed during this time. Her once strong kingdom is now dying. He needs a savior, not a conqueror. Kirin agreed to work with Lilavati because he enjoys being around the arrogant princess. He is attracted to her confidence and determination. But when she begins to use her determination to keep him at a distance, he no longer likes this character trait of the girl so much. A promise made ten years ago to another keeps her away from his bed. However, when she discovers that her knight in shining armor is married and has children, all inhibitions are lifted. But no matter how often Kirin shares a bed with Lilavati, it is not enough. He needs to find a way to get the princess to open her heart. With his reputation, it won't be easy, but if he saves her kingdom, he might have a chance.
