The Mirror Queen: Shards Of Yesterday by LoveWrites at Inkitt

Story Notes

A year has passed since the Mirror Queen claimed her throne.

No longer draped in silks and swords,Padmavatinow walks Mandawa’s corridors in tailored power suits, sunglasses, and stilettos. But behind the sleek façade of the modern-day queen lies a womanhaunted. Haunted not by her enemies — but by the man sheloved and destroyed.

Every night, she curses her own heart.

Every mirror in the palace has been covered…

Except one.

The original —cracked, cursed, and quietly waking.

Meanwhile, across the world in Germany,Aarav Rajputhas become a ghost.

He gave up the empire. Gave up revenge. Gave upher.

The world thinks he’s dead.

Only one thing still connects him to life — thefamily of Vikram, his best friend who died in a mafia war. Aarav adopted them in silence, offering protection, love, and stability… while hiding who he truly is.

To them, he’s justArmaan— a mysterious but kind guardian living in the shadows.

But when the mirror begins to bleed visions again — dreams of Mandawa, of the past, ofPadmavati crying alone in the dark— the strings of fate begin to pull once more.

The curse isn’t over.

The mirror is not done.

And love... refuses to die quietly.
