A nation invaded. A city in ruins. A resistance ignited.
When Iranian forces launch a lightning invasion of the United Arab Emirates, the glittering towers of Dubai fall under the shadow of war. In a matter of days, cities burn, allies falter, and the world watches in stunned silence.
British military advisor Jack Hawke finds himself thrust into the heart of a brutal occupation. With the help of Major Khalid Al-Farsi, a battle-hardened Emirati pilot, and Noura Al-Rashid, an unlikely civilian leader, Jack helps spark a resistance movement determined to fight for every inch of their homeland.
As the resistance strikes back with daring sabotage missions and guerrilla attacks, Iranian reprisals grow more ruthless. Amidst the chaos, Sheikha Hessa Al-Maktoum fights a lonely diplomatic battle, trying to rally a reluctant international community before it’s too late.
But in a war where truth is manipulated, loyalties shift, and every decision costs lives, hope is as fragile as the scorched skyline. And yet, beneath the ashes, something begins to rise...
A story of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable will of a people who refuse to surrender.
