Although Adika Taming's life was taken way too young, it wasn't over. Rather, he awakens in an other reality-a bizarre yet captivating world where myths come to life and old kingdoms flourish. Adika discovers that he has been granted another shot at life, but it comes with a price: he must wed the mysterious and arrogant Tunku Puteri (princess) of Kelembai Isle, a place shrouded in mystery and governed by ancient magic.
Cempaka's a princess unlike any other. She sees her marriage to Adika as a political necessity rather than a romantic one, a contract designed to protect her realm from unseen dangers. She is fierce, duty-bound, and secretive. Adika must adjust to the customs, magic, and hidden perils of Kelembai as he makes his way through its mysteries and traditions. However, he soon discovers that he wasn't just here by chance. The marriage is at the heart of a prophecy that might change the destiny of the entire kingdom, and ancient powers are rising.
Adika and Cempaka, who are married but estranged by distrust, find it difficult to work together. They learn more about themselves and the secret forces that drew them together as they grew closer. Adika must choose between embracing the role fate has assigned him and risking everything to forge his path, as he is torn between his longing for freedom and the allure of his new existence.
Adika and Cempaka must learn to trust each other or risk losing all they value in danger from competing kingdoms and unexplained paranormal powers approaches. Their strange connection might be the difference between preserving the Kelembai Isle and destroying it.
