The Vanquished Queen: the Diary of Kaikeyi

The 14-year-exile is long over. Treaties and ties have been established and sealed with promises, rewards, and tributes. The royal treasury overflows with wealth, and so does the royal palace with politics. Peace prevails in all corners of the Ram Rajya with everyone satiated, except for one. She, who is a Maha Rani, is in seclusion. She is restless, watching all her calculated ploys falling apart. Confined to her own quarters, she lacks all powers to influence the royal throne she used to enjoy. Instead, she reflects on her life-her decisions and choices as she authors her memoir. This is her Diary- a Diary of the warrior princess of Kaikeya-the daughter of Ashwapati, playing a pivotal role in the journey of Maryada Purushottam, Sri Rama.
