Princes of every kingdom dream about marrying her, but little do they know that her heart is set on someone-- Raja Virendra Singh. Virendra and Chandrakanta are head over heels in love. But Shivdutt, the king of Chunargarh, cannot bear to see Chandrakanta with anyone else. He traps her in a tilismanic building, bound with magic, in the middle of a jungle. Will Virendra be able to break the magic and free the love of his life? Or is Chandrakanta doomed to remain caged forever? Set in the nineteenth century India, Devakinandan Khatri's Chandrakanta is filled with magic, mystery, and illusions, and is considered one of the best novels in Indian literature.
