The worst that can happen if you fail is you get fired, right? But on my first day I was told that if I failed in my duties, even just once, the world would end. I probably should have asked more questions at the time, but I was distracted by a pretty face.' The ticking of the click made the room feel emptier than it was. The clunky ticks and tocks echoed around the circular hall, bouncing off sleek walls and plastic enclosures. Those plastic screens were nine inches thick but reflected like sleek polished glass. Whether that shield of plastic was designed to keep him inside or keep everyone else out had never been explained to Maika. "You just sit and watch him," she had been told. That was the sum of her responsibilities. The entire explanation. "Sit in the outer ring. Use your enhanced focus. Don't take your eyes away from him for a second." "Him... Eigen."

Natalie Grimaldi has always been a fighter. Rebellious, sharp-tongued, and unwilling to break under pressure, she’s spent most of her life enduring the cruelty of her uncle, Gideon Grimaldi , a greedy man who raised her only to use her as a pawn. When Gideon announces that she’s to marry Viktor Roman, a Russian billionaire twice her age, in exchange for a debt settlement, Natalie is furious, broken and frustrated.

Or will she fall for the devil who was never meant to love?

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.
