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.

On the day of the company's annual gala, I quit my job and went back to the countryside, using up all my savings to help my best friend raise her daughter. She had died tragically, swept away by the river while trying to retrieve my hundred-million-dollar gala prize ticket that had fallen into the water. Wracked with guilt, I honored her dying wish and married her husband. After the wedding, I sold my blood and even a kidney just to make ends meet, raising my stepdaughter with everything I had. Eventually, she fulfilled her dream of winning the Best Actress Award and was about to marry the richest man in the country. But just as I was preparing to give a speech at her wedding, I saw my best friend, who had been dead for over a decade. She clutched my stepdaughter's hand and accused me of being a homewrecker who seduced her husband, and even claimed I had been the one who pushed her into the river all those years ago. Only then did I learn the truth—she had faked her death all those years ago, just to steal my prize ticket and travel the world, leaving me behind to raise her family. The shock sent me into a cerebral hemorrhage. When I opened my eyes again, I had gone back to the day she drowned.

Introduction A year ago, I had my eyes on the winning prize in the arena - a rare red gemstone, and wanted to win it back as the mating ring with my Alpha mate Damien. Just as I was about to claim victory and take the prize, Damien's secretary Celia stepped forward to challenge me. Damien laughed helplessly. "Young girls love these shiny things. As the Luna of our pack, you should be generous and let her have them, okay?" I refused outright and defeated her. That day, Celia ran off the platform crying. I proudly showed Damien my prize. He kissed my forehead helplessly. "My stubborn little wildcat." After our mating ceremony, he claimed me night after night for a whole year, in every way imaginable, never giving me a moment's rest. But one year later, I received an invitation to a private combat arena. Videos and photos of me beneath Damien, my eyes hazy with desire, were brazenly displayed as the victor's prize. Damien had his arm around Celia's waist. "Don't you love fighting? There are over a hundred people here. I'll have them challenge you one by one. Whoever wins gets a sex tape of you and me. A whole year's worth."
