Mizan

In a world where balance is law, light is power, and iron is hunger — a young man from a forgotten desert village sets out to find his kidnapped brother. Sael has no power. No title. What he has is a mechanical compass, a braided blue thread on his wrist, and the certainty that his brother's disappearance was no accident. His search leads him to join the Romh — a desert tribe and strike force guarding the trade road between the two great cities of the continent. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the road holds secrets older than the tribe itself, and the truth behind his brother's disappearance runs deeper than anything he expected. Mizan is an Arabic-inspired epic fantasy of loss, loyalty, and a balance that someone is quietly breaking.
