Complete trilogy of an epic tale of adventure, love, and betrayal!
In medieval Magadha, a young princess stands alone between the throne and an enemy horde.
Raised in ancient Indian tradition, Princess Meera neither wields a sword nor wears the crown. She is content to let her father and brother manage the affairs of the court. She performs her duties and knows her place.
When her brother disappears in enemy territory, her kingdom is left without an heir. As princes vie for her hand to capture the throne, her only use seems to lie in her ability to give birth to a son to wear the crown.
Afraid for her people’s future and her brother’s life, Meera can no longer accept her traditional role. As she fights to guard her heart and keep her kingdom safe, she struggles to navigate the royal game of chess without becoming a pawn.
Can she save what she holds most dear, or is her brother’s disappearance a harbinger of worse to come?
This royal Indian saga weaves a tale of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue.

The stories I read growing up inspired me to write. I am interested in historical fiction and within that society, examining the human heart in conflict. I like to place my female characters in difficult situations and see how they learn to survive with no actual power. And watch my male characters fall in love while fighting for king and land. I love exploring the struggle between love and duty.
I live in California with my family. Visit me at annabushi.com to learn about upcoming books.
