Summary: Farahnaz Rahnema has spent her life in the shadows of Emari’s grand Citadel, serving the powerful queen, theMashyana, as her most loyal Hand. With the Talent of metallurgy, Farah can bend and control metal, making her a skilled thief and assassin, tasked with retrieving ancient relics of unimaginable power for the queen. She believes in the queen’s vision for a restored kingdom, one relic at a time. When a mysterious girl named Pari, the Voice of the gods, insists that Farah must join forces with Yasher—a charming, reckless card shark who thrives on luck—Farah’s world starts to unravel. Yasher has always relied on his quick wits and strange luck to survive, avoiding deep ties to anyone or anything. But when he crosses paths with Farah, he’s thrust into a perilous mission to recover relics that could reshape Emari’s future. As they navigate a kingdom filled with hidden truths, ancient secrets, and ever-shifting alliances, Farah begins to question the queen she serves and the kingdom’s growing corruption. With her loyalty tested and Yasher’s own hidden motives in play, Farah must decide: is Mashyana truly Emari’s savior, or is something darker at play? In The Hand of Mashyana, power, betrayal, and ancient relics collide, with a kingdom’s fate hanging in the balance. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy, thrilling heists, and slow-burn romance, The Hand of Mashyana is the first book in the sweeping saga where destiny, power, and loyalty collide.
