Suryasimha, the crown prince of Kaushambi, is totally enamoured by the beautiful Aadrika, who is the princess of the Gamta tribe. He falls in love with the fiery woman despite the fact that she attacks him with a poisonous arrow the moment she sets eyes on him. He proposes to marry her within barely a week of meeting her.
Aadrika finds the prince absolutely attractive, and is keen to bed him. But marriage? She is determined never to tie the knot, with Suryasimha, nor any other man for that matter. And she has a reason for it as she refuses his marriage proposal, not once, but multiple times.
With the need to return to his own kingdom, Suryasimha leaves the tribal village, without bothering to say goodbye to the realm’s princess, much to her annoyance.
Determined to have her way, Aadrika decides to go chasing after the prince, and travels to Kaushambi, only to come face to face with someone she has never expected to meet during her lifetime.
In the meanwhile, there also lurks another royal princess who appears to be determined to wed the crown prince. With red hot jealousy burning within her, will Aadrika stand back and allow it to happen? Or will she fight for her right to make the prince hers, compromising her resolution to remain an unmarried woman?
And what about the crown prince himself? Will he give Aadrika what she wants?

Sundari Venkatraman is an Indie Author who has 76 books to her credit, the latest book being THE CROWN PRINCE, the second book in her The Prince Series, set in 6th century India.

Her latest hot romances have all been on #1 Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.
These days, the author is independently publishing her novels in paperback format under her banner Flaming Sun, printed and distributed by Notion Press.
Even as a child, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘lived happily ever after’ syndrome and she grew up on a steady diet of fairy tales, Phantom comics and Mandrake comics. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy ending after the protagonists surmounted all unexpected obstacles.
Once she entered her teens, Sundari switched her loyalties from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to local heroes and heroines. And of course, the joy of vanquishing the ubiquitous evil villains! Her imagination soared and she happily ensconced herself in a rosy romantic cocoon for many years.
Then came the writing—a true bolt from the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.
