Hi Karyne, My name is Mohsen, and I’m an indie author. I’ve just finished my first book—an epic fantasy centered on identity, memory across lifetimes, and the quiet weight of power. Rather than a rise-to-power story, it explores awakening as remembrance, and how ancient truths persist within ordinary lives. The book is available for free on my website, and I’d truly appreciate it if you’d take a look and share your honest feedback with me https://darkness-and-light.vercel.app/books/book-1
