Rewa was a fine land with a helmed by an absolutely fine lad. Prince Samudra was sublime, genuine and empathetic, qualities that have haunted him as a ruler but he refused to change. 


Samudra is a temporary king under the tutelage of Vikram Kaka. He is the exact opposite of Samudra. He is keen on mending Samudra's ways but hasn't been successful yet. Vikram kaka was ruthless and a shrewd diplomat who desired to pul Samudra's strings all his life. Will Samudra realise his true motive? Can he save his kingdom from the hands of the many enemies he has gained after assuming the throne?

Vikram kaka his father's distant relative had taken control of the affairs. He continued to spew venom in the mind of Samudra but his attempts remained futile. 


Vikram kaka was planning on taking control of the kingdom with the aid of a few enemies kingdoms.
