Said Al Riyami is an Omani writer with a passion for epic fantasy and for building worlds where myth, history, and imagination meet. He spent nearly five years developing the world of Floating & Drowning – We Die to Live, researching names and the real astronomical, linguistic, and cultural meanings that underpin it. His writing focuses on the inner conflicts of his characters, on how the place each one holds can alter the course of events, and on the transformations they undergo when their choices become heavier than their ability to turn back.
