Malik wants to escape his war-torn home with his younger sister, but when she's abducted by a spirit, he strikes a deal: kill the crown princess Kiran in exchange for his sister's freedom. Kiran, however, has plans of her own, and they involve dark and deadly magic to revive her murdered mother. Malik and Kiran's purposes collide, and although they can't deny the attraction between them, only one of them can achieve their goals and survive.
