Summary:
The rightful heiress to the throne of Orabel, levelheaded, powerful and beautiful princess Ehna's curiosity always scratched to discover the forbidden hall of her palace. Her overprotective father always had made sure to have a good number of soldiers securing the entrance to the path leading to darkness, which made her to wonder more about it. On the day of her coronation, she does something which turns her life upside down. And then she decides to fight her only fear- DARKNESS, to fetch answers of all the questions which stirred desire within her soul, the answers which had been concealed...

My take on your story:
Cover: This beautiful cover seems to augment the potential of your story. It perfectly shrouds the mystery that is your story.
Summary: The premise of your story decides fate of your book. Though the summary provided by you is nice enough, there is room for improvement. There should be a break in the sentences of the summary. For instance, the line, ' The rightful heiress to the throne of Orabel, levelheaded, powerful and beautiful princess Ehna's curiosity always scratched to discover the forbidden hall ..... ' You could change it to first person and it could sound like this, 'The forbidden hall of the palace had always enchanted me. I, the levelheaded princess of Orabel will do anything in my power to breach the security warding the hall of secrets.' I found some grammatical errors which can no doubt be corrected.

Review on the story content:
Mysterious, mystical, fantastical and exotic are the words that I'll use to describe this unusual plot. When I read the prologue, I was enchanted by Ehna though I wondered about the identity of the mysterious Epha. The plot of the story is magnificient. It transports the reader to a different world which is filled with secrets. As a reader I could relate to your young protagonist, the Crown Princess of Orabel, Ehna. Her curiosity is childlike and fascinating. It is well potrayed.
Alas, every beautiful object has imperfections. I feel that the imagery created by you in the prologue is weak. I feel that you should have described every nook and cranny of the mysterious gates of the hall. I feel that if the story had begun on a more playful note, I would have enjoyed it more. You could have started the prologue by showing a toddler (Ehna) seeing the mysterious gates for the first time and her father advicing her against entering the gates. There were many grammatical errors I came across. I think you need to review prepositions and punctuations used in your story.
The imagery created by you is a little weak. I'll again emphasize on the importance of descriptions of the mysterious gates of the hall and the royal palace of Orabel.
Overall, It was an interesting read but in need of severe editing. You can check out @Newstorieslibrary. They offer exemplary editing services.
I hope that my review was helpful.
