Anggur merah mengalir perlahan menyusuri leherku yang jenjang, turun hingga ke tulang selangka, lalu ke bagian dadaku yang putih dan berisi. Cairan merah itu membasahi kedua buah dadaku, sebagian mengalir ke celah yang dalam di antaranya, lalu merembes ke kemeja putih yang kukenakan. Pakaianku pun menempel erat di tubuhku, membuat dua tonjolan lembut di dadaku tampak samar di baliknya. Tubuhku mulai bergetar pelan karena gugup, tetapi di saat yang sama, ada sensasi tegang yang sulit dijelaskan. Ini pertama kalinya aku dengan sadar mencoba menggoda pria lain selain suamiku.

Jentra Kenanga adalah salah seorang anggota perajurit khusus (Sandi/Mata-mata) Medang dan berpangkat panglima. Ia memiliki tugas dan misi khusus untuk mengawasi pergerakan Wangsa Sanjaya yang dianggap sebagai pemberontak oleh Maharaja Rakai Garung. Namun disamping itu, ia juga mengemban misi rahasia dari Mahamentri I Halu atau keluarga raja yang berasal dari wangsa Syailendra untuk menemukan mustika yang terletak di Puncak Udarati(Gunung Arjuna saat ini). Mustika ini konon memiliki kesaktian di dalam mengendalikan Chakramandala atau penguasaan atas semesta. Di dalam upayanya mencari mustika itu, Jentra yang ditemani Rukma (anak yang diselamatkannya saat banjir bandang) tidak hanya harus bertempur dengan para Raja yang menginginkan mustika itu. Ia juga dipertemukan kembali dengan Candrakanti, gadis yang pernah sangat dicintainya namun karena dendam yang mendalam atas kematian keluarganya, Jentra berusaha melupakan gadis itu. Namun ternyata ia tidak bisa menghapus gadis itu dari setiap perjalanan hidupnya yang rumit. Perseteruan untuk memperebutkan mustika itu juga menempatkan dirinya dan Candrakanti di dalam posisi yang saling bermusuhan, karena Candrakanti mendapatkan tugas khusus dari Maharaja sendiri. Akankah cinta mereka kembali bersatu? Dan siapakah yang akan memenangkan mustika Udarati? Mampukah Rukma meyakinkan Jentra untuk tidak hanya memperjuangkan mustika Udarati tetapi juga cintanya?
