• disclaimer •

• This book is solely based on fiction. Every place, name, title, and scene is purely created from imagination. Please avoid drawing real-life comparisons. This is a work of fiction. Take it as one.

• English is not my first language, so there would be some minor grammatical errors. Please refrain from judging my writing style, character development, and storyline. However, for feedback, my dms are always open. So, I ask for your cooperation and understanding. Please respect my vision and enjoy the story unfolding.

• This book is set in a fictional royal arena and will change the arena based on its structure and needs. It also contains the references from Indian traditions. They are used respectfully and finely while noting not to stereotype or misprint any views. But, if any unintentional misrepresentation is found, I'm open to any corrections with understanding.

• The book will also mention murder, blood, and gore to its respective needs and extent. If somehow it triggers you, please do not proceed. Mention of medical terms, illness, phobias, panic & anxiety attacks to self-injurious behaviours will be there.
