Peace, when forged through duty, does not come gently. It arrives on the edge of decisions made not by hearts, but by nations.
In volume one, princess Revati of Svarṇapatha accepted a marriage born of politics—an alliance that bound her to a stranger from a distant land. Now, that agreement bears its weight.
Volume two follows Revati as she walks across the bridge between two civilizations—from the rhythmic temples and warm skies of Utkalapur to the frost-veiled peaks and silenced courts of Tiānguó.
Her marriage to Prince Shen Liwei—an enigmatic man of few words and unreadable
eyes—is sealed in rituals she barely understands, under a sky unfamiliar to her soul.
Here, the story unfolds at a leisurely pace. It watches through silken veils, mountain winds, and gestures unspoken.
Revati must leave everything known behind: her brothers, her language, her gods,
and her laughter. And in return, she must learn the shape of a world that offers her a name, but not yet a place.
Through farewell rituals, cross-border journeys, and cold palaces, this volume charts the
distance between two people bound by ceremony yet divided by silence. Where volume one
asked whether love could serve the realm, volume two wonders: can two strangers cross the
border of the heart?
