Di balik kemegahan Kerajaan Tirta Mandala, tersimpan sebuah ramalan kuno tentang Sang Cahaya—sosok yang akan membawa kejayaan atau kehancuran. Saraswati, seorang putri yang hidup terkurung dalam istana, dibesarkan tanpa mengetahui jati dirinya. Mimpi-mimpi ganjil, bisikan misterius, dan pengawalnya yang baru, Raka Mahardika, membangkitkan tekadnya untuk mencari kebenaran. Pencariannya mengungkap rahasia kelam: Saraswati bukan keturunan raja, melainkan pewaris sah dari klan pemberontak yang telah dibantai. Ia seharusnya telah dibunuh, tapi justru disembunyikan. Dengan bantuan Raka dan Ki Wira, ia melarikan diri, menemukan perlindungan di Hutan Angkara, dan merangkul takdirnya sebagai pemimpin pemberontakan. Namun perjuangan tak berhenti di medan perang. Setelah menggulingkan Raja Adhiraj—ayah angkat sekaligus musuhnya—Saraswati dihadapkan pada dilema: membalas dendam atau menjadi pemimpin yang berbeda. Ia memilih belas kasih, mengasingkan raja dan naik takhta sebagai Ratu Tirta Mandala. Tapi kemenangan hanyalah awal. Di balik dinding istana, konspirasi baru mulai tumbuh. Para bangsawan yang kecewa menyusun rencana untuk menggulingkannya tanpa perang—dengan fitnah dan pengkhianatan dari dalam. Di saat genting, bahkan cinta antara Saraswati dan Raka diuji. Ketika pengkhianat dari lingkaran terdekatnya terungkap, Saraswati harus menghadapi ujian terakhir: bertahan sebagai pemimpin atau tumbang seperti yang lain. Dalam dunia yang diselimuti bayang-bayang, akankah ia mampu menjadi cahaya yang membawa perubahan? "Darah dan Takhta" adalah kisah epik tentang takdir, pengkhianatan, dan kekuatan seorang wanita muda dalam menuntun kerajaan menuju cahaya—atau kehancuran.

Alethea, a young girl from a small village, accepts a tempting job offer to care for a sick employer in the capital city as a way to escape her mother. However, upon arriving at the employer's home, Alethea is shocked to discover that her patient is not the frail, elderly person she imagined, but Sebastian Tarcisio—a wealthy heir who is blind, arrogant, and stubborn. From their very first meeting, Sebastian is rude and constantly insults her, making her regret her decision to take the job. However, her mother has already taken the one-year advance payment, and if Alethea breaks the contract, not only will she face punishment, but her family will also suffer for spending the upfront salary. With no other choice, Alethea is forced to endure. In truth, Sebastian’s insults aren’t because he hates Alethea or doubts her abilities. It’s because he knows that his grandfather, Felix Tarcisio, intentionally placed Alethea in his life in the hopes that they would form a relationship and eventually give Felix a male heir to continue the Tarcisio family line. As time goes on, Alethea begins to realize that Sebastian isn’t as cruel as she initially thought. Beneath his hardened exterior, she sees his vulnerability. And in Alethea’s resilience, Sebastian starts to discover a gentleness within himself that he never knew existed. What will become of their story amidst the shadows of manipulation by Sebastian’s grandfather and the greed of Alethea’s mother? Will Alethea and Sebastian fight for their unexpected love, or will they end up parting ways?

For seven years, I love Cody Rummish, clinging to his promise—once his sister-in-law, Luna Briche, conceives, our ordeal ends, and we finally begin our married life. But reality betrays me. Just months after moving into his home, Cody slips into Luna's bedroom 88 times—starting with once a month, now nearly one or two visits daily. Every night, I sit in the downstairs living room, counting the minutes, clutching a flicker of unrealistic hope. As the sole heir after his twin brother's fatal plane crash, Cody inherits not just power and wealth but also, seamlessly, his brother's widow, Luna. After the 88th visit, Luna announces her pregnancy. But instead of Cody honoring his promise, a public declaration shatters me—he will formally marry Luna. I unravel, demanding answers. Silent, Cody locks me in the bedroom's walk-in closet. "Luna was trapped in an elevator for 30 minutes! She nearly died because of you! Stay here for five days. Feel her fear!" Only on the sixth morning does Cody casually open the door with a chuckle. "Alright, lesson learned. Time to apologize, right?" He finds only the stench of blood and my cold, lifeless body. He's killed the fiancée who's loved him for seven years.
