Durga: Blood and Silk

Dhruvi has three names. As a District Magistrate and IAS officer, she's the coldest, most feared administrator in the state. As the CEO of Ivory & Iron, she runs a cosmetics empire with the same unflinching command. And in a third life almost no one alive knows exists, she is Durga- India's most decorated undercover intelligence operative and, in the underworld's darkest corners, its reigning Mafia Queen, holding that crown for exactly one reason: to burn down the child trafficking networks that once nearly destroyed her.

When Advay Rathore, arrogant, powerful, and quietly obsessed with her for years, finally forces his way into her carefully guarded life, Dhruvi lets herself fall for the first time since childhood trauma taught her love was a weakness she couldn't afford. But loving her puts a target on his life, and the choice she makes to protect him - a staged betrayal, a bullet, a lie that breaks them both- sets off a war of vengeance, forced marriage, buried family secrets, and a final, near-fatal mission that will force every version of Dhruvi into the same room at last. Some queens are born. She was made by grief, by silence, and by the refusal to ever kneel.
