Hearts & Duty
Hearts & Duty
In Kabul's shadow of exploding convoys, one woman’s personal loss becomes the spark that ignites a war fought in silence.
When Indian diplomat Arvind dies in a meticulously orchestrated Kabul ambush, Third Secretary Ananya Rao is left clutching a shattered ring and a promise that will never be kept. Three years later, a second strike— the Jaffar Express explodes in Balochistan—drags her deeper into a web of corporate mercenaries, rogue intelligence, and a faceless enemy called Prometheus that profits from chaos itself.
Enter Wing Commander Sohail “Shadow” Mirza, a Pakistani fighter pilot haunted by the ghosts of Jaffar Express. Bound by duty and divided by borders, their paths collide as nations teeter on the edge of water wars, false-flag attacks, and digital strangulation. Together, they must forge an uneasy alliance that becomes something far more dangerous: trust...
From the blood-soaked tracks of Balochistan to Geneva's chandeliers and the candlelit corridors of the Istanbul Summit, Hearts & Duty is a high-stakes international thriller where every treaty is a battlefield, every alliance a gamble, and every quiet moment between two scarred operatives carries the weight of a slow-burning, forbidden connection that could either save them—or destroy everything they’re fighting to protect.
In a world where peace is just another commodity, the real question isn’t who will win the war.
But who will still have a heart left when the last shot is fired?
