The Story
Epic Dark Fantasy / Arcanepunk
Every night, Count Kael Vorat dreams of the same song – and the masked woman who sings it. He knows her. For ten years he has kept her sealed beneath his castle, driving the dagger home again each time she begins to stir.
Then his brother’s letter arrives: enciphered, desperate. Arin has uncovered something in Westgate worth killing for. Now he is gone.
The trail runs through murdered scholars, a tablet in a tongue three thousand years dead, and a name out of the oldest scriptures: the Heart of Anarand.
In Westgate, every smile is a mask and the woman waiting on the terrace wears the loveliest mask of all.
Some songs call you home.
This one is calling him to his grave.

About the Author
Boris Khan
Boris Khan writes epic fantasy from Bulgaria, where many of his evenings disappear into the vast, dying world of Anarand’aris. The Heart of Anarand Saga – originally written in Bulgarian and painstakingly refined into English – is the product of over a decade of worldbuilding, including a fully constructed language, an original musical soundtrack, and a history spanning millennia. His prose aims for the density of Erikson, the precision of Rothfuss, and the momentum of the best adventure fiction.
When not weaving stories of immortal conspiracies and crumbling empires, Boris enjoys losing himself in the worlds of other storytellers – through books, films, and video games – and is always happy to discuss the craft with fellow readers and writers.
You have seen the threads, but the tapestry is far grander. The world of Anarand’aris is vast, dangerous, and alive. Step beyond the veil and discover the true depth of the Niamaru Universe.
