The series starts with a voiceover that says, "A lot of kings were born in Bharat and they all had their truths open but one story had so many facets that the real truth remained hidden. It is a story about a brave king, the king who was king of kings, the most courageous king, the bravest soldier, the king who brought light in this world. But the light in his world was brought by a princess called Kaurwaki". Their story started when King Bindusar's wife, Dharma gave birth to the bravest king but it was not an easy birth. His birth night was dark and had many secrets buried during that night. The painful story of emperor Ashok started from that very night. The series also explores the life of Ashok, and his love story with Devi and Kaurvaki.
