Shaheer J. Syed : Architect of The Harmonya Chronicles and a Seeker of Inner Truth.

Shaheer J. Syed is not merely an author; he is an Author, Creator, Lyricist, composer, an established Innovator, a renowned Business Architect, an Innovation and Transformation Coach, whose journey over 3 decades is defined by a singular, profound dedication to give something back and make a lasting impact for good. Viewing himself as a "traveler and explorer in this world," Shaheer embodies an energy that rejuvenates those who meet him. Although a seasoned IT professional residing in Stockholm, Sweden, his true calling—the written word—is a legacy woven into the fabric of his being, since an age of 10;  inherited from his late grandfather, Ali Kausar Chandpuri, a renowned author and Unani physician who penned over 100 books.

The passion fueling his creation of The Harmonya Chronicles—a milennia-spanning epic fantasy saga—is deeply rooted in a twenty-year personal struggle to find direction and inner harmony. Shaheer intimately understands the weight of struggle, having felt it, as if he were constantly "crawling through the debris of my own existence".

This painful yet transformative journey became the crucible for the saga's core philosophy: that the conflict between light and darkness is a profound metaphor for the internal battles that rage within every individual. The act of crafting these stories is his way of processing his own joys and sorrows, attempting to offer a glimmer of hope to those lost in darkness, and reminding everyone that they are not alone.

Driven by this motivational purpose, Shaheer committed over 12 years to meticulously weaving the vast tapestry of The Harmonya Chronicles.

Building a Universe of Depth: The saga is a dystopian cosmos filled with distant planets, magical creatures, and a centuries-old war. This intense focus resulted in deep character threads for a sprawling cast, including over 50 complex characters , focusing intently on their values, growth, and paradoxical natures. The narrative emphasizes that immense power must be balanced with profound humanity and wisdom,  exploring core virtues like courage, integrity, compassion, sacrifice, honour and wisdom.

The Invitation to Self-Discovery: The entire saga is a deliberate invitation for readers to embark on their own quest for self-discovery, challenging them to "discover yourself, who you are, who you want to become".

For three years, this immense literary effort culminated in an unprecedented strategic launch that blurred the line between literature and sound. Recognizing that the story was "incomplete without a pulse," Shaheer, who also dabbles in Song writing and Composing since childhood, undertook the revolutionary move of penning and composing the lyrics, melodies, and composition for the concept albums himself.

This emotional and creative core was brought to life through a strategic partnership with the Swedish band, OBSIDIAN HEART. OBSIDIAN HEART serves as the musical architect and producer, translating the saga's raw emotional weight into an ethereal blend of atmospheric rock, cinematic arrangements, and folk influences. This collaboration ensures that the music acts as a direct transmission from the author, becoming an unfolding layer of discovery for the audience. The musical works have been made available globally across 125+ channels and music services.

Shaheer J. Syed's creation is more than just an epic adventure; it is a philosophical guide for the modern young adult and even 18+, built over years of tireless dedication, designed to inspire every reader to find their own inner strength—the "Powerful Place"—so they can rise and conquer the darkness, both cosmic and internal.

OBSIDIAN HEART, sonic scientists known for their ethereal soundscapes, haunting melodies, and raw emotional power, are the perfect architects for this ambitious project.

Their unique blend of atmospheric rock, subtle folk influences, and cinematic arrangements will breathe life into the saga's most poignant moments, from the quiet sorrow of a forgotten love to the thunderous triumph of a galactic rebellion. These aren't just background tracks; they are independent works of art, each album meticulously crafted to capture the essence of different eras, characters, and emotional arcs within the Chronicles.

The powerful and evocative lyrics for these concept albums, penned and composed by the author and creator of The Harmonya Chronicles himself, brings this unparalleled insight and immersiveness that ensures that every word, every phrase, resonates with the raw emotional core and intricate lore of the saga, capturing the timeless human (and indeed, alien) emotions of hope, despair, courage, betrayal, and love that echo throughout its centuries-spanning narrative.
