Synopsis
The Star-Touched Queen, published by Roshani Chokshi in 2016, follows Mayavati, known as Maya, the scholarly teenage daughter of the Raja of Bharata, whose birth chart marks her as cursed with a fate that terrifies potential suitors and unsettles her own father's court. To avert open conflict between rival kingdoms competing for influence over her, Maya agrees to marry Amar, the enigmatic ruler of Akaran, a realm whose location and true nature remain a mystery even to those who arrange the match, reachable only through an enchanted marketplace unlike anywhere else in Bharata. As Maya travels to Akaran and begins her new life as its queen, she finds a realm that raises more questions than it answers, drawing her into secrets that go well beyond the political marriage she agreed to in order to keep the peace.
