The Harmony: Complete Edition

by F.M. Faraz

It felt as if time had stopped…. As if life no longer held any meaning. A short while ago, amidst the chaos of his shouts, he had sensed the sunset, and now he found himself in a space that bore no resemblance to the moments just before. A red cloak billowed before his eyes, swaying in the wind. A fleeting, childlike worry crossed his mind—was he completely naked? But no, he wasn't. He still wore the same clothes as before, only his feet had vanished into the soft but chilling sand beneath him. It felt like he was standing in a desert near the sea. Perhaps he was dead and had stepped into the ultimate secret, that dream beyond all dreams, into that land hidden from the eyes of the living—at least, that's what he believed. For a moment, he gazed up at the sky, and what he saw was beyond belief. There were no stars, no sun, not even the glow of the moon. Instead, a broad, luminous ribbon resembling the symbol for infinity stretched across the heavens, casting a soft, moonlit glow over the desert. The ends of this infinite ribbon reached the horizon, while its intersection point lay directly above him. It seemed as though this immense, radiant thread was draped over an invisible dome, with him positioned precisely at its center. Never before in his life had he been so completely captivated by the beauty of the sky. The contrast between the blackness of the night and the silvery glow of the celestial ribbon was beyond mere beauty—it was something divine, a spiritual confrontation…

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.

از خواندنش واقعاً لذت بردم.

[Leonie M · Rating 5 out of 5]

L’un des meilleurs livres que j’aie jamais lus sur les univers parallèles et le voyage dans le temps. J’ai vraiment aimé le lire. Les premiers chapitres sont un peu flous, mais après cela, c’était fantastique.

One of the best mystery and parallel-universe books I’ve ever read—full of suspense, twists, and nonstop thrills.

این چه فرقی با نسخه دو جلدی داشت؟

[Marie Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Harmony is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I can’t describe how much I loved it, especially Nora...she was an incredible character.

Мені дуже сподобалася ця книга. Вона була надзвичайно захопливою.

[Niloofar Niazi · Rating 3 out of 5]

خیلی داستان سختی بود
خیلی باید روش وقت بزاری تا بفمهی
کلا همش در حال جابجایی در زمان بود
موضوعش جالب بود ولی سخت بود

[Delara Geledari · Rating 5 out of 5]

هم سازی داستان سختی هست واقعا فهمیدنش سخته ولی قشنگه. من عاشق شاهزاده سایه ها هستمممممم

[Lily Foster · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve read both the previous edition and the new one, and I recommend the new edition.

[Samaneh Masoudii · Rating 5 out of 5]

داستان کتاب جذاب و قابل دنبال‌کردن و مملو از سورپرایز بود، لحن کتاب صمیمی و جالب بود اما کمی سخت بود و نیاز به دقت داشت، این اثر ارزش چند بار خواندن را دارد.

[Niyousha · Rating 5 out of 5]

داستان بسیار سختی بود. واقعا نیاز بود تا خیلی وقت بزاری تا بفهمی چی به چیه اوضاع. ولی من دوست داشتم. نسخه انگلیسیش رو که اصلا نمیشه فهمید هر چقدر هم انگلیسیت خوب باشه ولی نسخه فارسیش خوب بود

[مرجان سعیدی · Rating 4 out of 5]

داستان فوق‌العاده بود. اگر از این داستان فیلم درست کنند قطعا یکی از فیلم های پرفروش میشه ولی خود داستان با توجه به اینکه باید ارتباط بگیری با لحظه به لحظه‌اش سخت بود

[Hamid Arasteh · Rating 4 out of 5]

داستان بدی نبود ولی خیلی سخت و پیچیده بود
