In an empire ruled by a dictatorial emperor, his sister Malini is imprisoned in isolation within the Hirana, a decaying ancient temple that once held powerful magical waters. Priya, a maidservant who climbs to the temple each night to clean Malini's chambers, conceals a dangerous secret about her true nature. When Malini witnesses that secret, the two women's fates become entwined: one a princess seeking to overthrow her brother, the other a priestess searching for her family. Their alliance sets events in motion that could reshape the empire.
