 Deep summary:

The story starts with a complete adventure of Aniri escaping the palace. Devesh her love was waiting at the river bank.

She keeps waiting for her birthday for the freedom she wished to seek. Her freedom was not only being with Devesh but also to find out who killed her father.

In the midst of their romantic night she spots Janaka, the guardian. She is being told about marrying the barbarian prince for the peace treaty of the kingdom. Divulged in dilemma she gets depressed. Prince Malik gives her a weird proposal of a fictional marriage with no kids.

Her sword fight practice with instructor Devesh is excruciating as well as a romantic convinced conversation. Devesh keeps persuading her to refuse the marriage proposal. On the other hand the Queen indirectly convinces her is just a work of spying the Jungali weapons and army power.

Aniri starts her journey and by the time reaches Jungali, people await the engagement ceremony of the Prince and the Princess. For the people to believe they have a lip kiss and soon Aniri faints.

Back in the room Priya, Aniri and Janak have their discussion and the aetheroceivers to connect to the Queen. Aniri arranges a meet with Ashoka (Prince Malik) and converses about many things and lands on talking about the flying machine. Until she gains the prince's trust on her to allow her to explore the things around.

 Prince Malik slowly opens up about his dead brother Tosh; the situation in the room changes. Aniri peeks into the balcony finding a way to climb walls from her balcony to the office. By night she takes her strides to reach the room and finds an atherociever with a strange message. She encounters flames and black smoke running back to her room she finds it is in fire.

She keeps on drooling over the message of Navia and the kiss mentioned in the message strip. Back in her new room scanning over the trunks she grabbed the trunk given by Devesh and an atherociever in it. The other end was akin about the flying machine.

Just before the engagement party Aniri decided to take a walk. There she saw the prince being intimate with another lady.

 

At the engagement party the prince kissed her intimately after the kiss she saw Devesh in the hall. She excuse leaves with the prince guard to the rest room. Devesh meets her and tells her a socking truth that the Samarians are actually planning a war on Dharia. She is completely confused and   finally decides Janak, Priya and she would escape. 

She excused herself back to her room Ashoka accompanied her and back in the room tried t intimately woo her. She couldn’t hold that and then she confessed the truth about her mission.     With the situation getting tensed Prince Malik confessed about the flying machine.  They journey together to Sik to have a look at Navia- the flying machine.        At this point she was completely confused on whom to believe Devesh or Prince Malik. By the time they reached Malik gave her a token and asked her to pretend to be one of the workers and enter as a shift worker.

Finally she saw the sky ship inside the work area. She damages the air ship and escapes helped by the prince.

  When she returned back Janak discloses that her father was not dead but ran away from his royal responsibilities. She wishes for Devesh to comfort her and goes to the Samarian embassy. She hits Devesh and meets Garesh...and was flying above Dharia.

She was trying ways to escape but encountered the Prince, Janak and Priya who came in disguise for herewith Karan in the team the sky ship was directed back to Jungali.

An immense fight takes place and Aniri climbs up the sky ship to disable the exploding parts. She encounters Garesh and soon Ashok and Janak join in……

My favorite lines:

her black silk nightclothes against her skin like a thousand butterfly wings.

“A moment with you, even stolen, is worth the risk.”

Waiting to be with him was like a slow torture of endless minutes.

he blew like a feather wherever the wind took him.

Long gone were the barefoot days of running across the palace grounds with nothing but catching butterflies and chasing servant children to worry their minds.

Their secrecy and security are impressive.

“I wanted you to give serious thought to whether you would sacrifice your future for Dharia,” the Queen said stiffly, “before I asked you to possibly sacrifice your life.”

A good lie is always laced with the truth.

 “Prudence was always your strength, Janak.” “And your weakness, Princess.”
