sultani - Nanda

SULTANI is a sweeping historical fantasy novella that blends palace intrigue, political ambition, and supernatural mystery into an atmospheric tale of power and destiny. Set in the prosperous kingdom of Gulnar, the story follows Princess Afsana, a courageous and intelligent heir whose popularity among the people makes her both admired and feared. As her aging father prepares the kingdom’s future, powerful nobles conspire to prevent a woman from claiming the throne, forcing Afsana into a dangerous struggle against betrayal hidden within the royal court.

When a series of unexplained deaths begins to haunt the kingdom and whispers of ancient curses emerge from the forests surrounding Gulnar, Afsana’s political battle becomes something far more unsettling. Mysterious visions, a forgotten temple, and a spectral woman tied to a dark chapter of the kingdom’s past draw her toward secrets buried beneath generations of silence. As assassins close in and loyalties fracture, she must uncover the truth behind the haunting before both her kingdom and her life are consumed by forces older than any throne.

Rich in atmosphere, inspired by medieval South Asian culture, and filled with vivid imagery, SULTANI is a story of courage, legacy, forbidden history, and a woman determined to define her own destiny in a world determined to deny it.
