Empress Ki Of Yuan Dynasty

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.
