About the author

F.M. Faraz is a German-Persian poet, novelist, and storyteller whose literary voice weaves through the realms of philosophical fantasy and metaphysical mystery. Born on July 13, 1985, and currently residing in Germany, Faraz began writing at a young age. What started as a childhood passion soon became a lifelong journey—one shaped by short stories, deep introspection, and an unrelenting pursuit of meaning through words.

His debut novel, The Harmony, released in 2024 as a two-volume work, marked a defining moment in his creative path. Blending dark philosophical fantasy with haunting mystery, the novel explores profound questions and layered realities, echoing the themes closest to his heart.

Faraz’s poetic journey began in 2000, with his first collection, The Wander, making a quiet, unofficial appearance in 2005. Since then, his poetic voice has matured across works such as The Legend of Doubt—first published in 2012 and revisited in 2021—and his most recent collection, The Eighty One (2024), a contemplative exploration of wonder, doubt, and the human experience.

His next book, The Scoundrel (Bi-Hame-Chiz, in Persian), a work of psychological realism shaped by modern tragedy, existential confession, and sharp social critique is set for publication in December 2025. Following that, The Fall will be released in Q1 2026, promising yet another descent into the mythic and spiritual dimensions of existence, where fantasy meets questions of divinity, morality, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness.

The second book, although it continued brilliantly, could’ve had a better ending. It felt a bit too open-ended.

Just like I mentioned in my review of the first book, I randomly found this on Kindle Unlimited and was honestly surprised. I can't remember the last time a story pulled me in this much—I was counting down the moments to see what happened next! I spent my entire Christmas break glued to this book, and I have zero regrets. The second volume was absolutely brilliant, with surprises at every turn. The first book started off a bit slow, but now I understand why—after finishing the second one, I realized how every seemingly small event in the first book played a crucial role in the story and its ending!
