Muhammad Hamza Khaskheli is a 30-year-old with big dreams. He\u2019s a businessman by profession and a storyteller by passion. He has a BBA & an MS in Business Administration, yet he says<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLife has taught him things that no school can.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

Beyond his work, he writes to uncover the deeper aspects of life. For him, writing isn\u2019t just a hobby, but it’s also a tool & way to understand people, their minds, and what motivates them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamza enjoys reading, writing, thinking, and finding peace in solitude, and he gets better ideas when he is alone. According to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing around a lot of people tires me out, but there\u2019s something about solitude that makes me feel more focused.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Forsaken is Muhammad Hamza\u2019s debut book and marks the beginning of his literary journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Forsaken is a gripping psychological thriller that centers around Farhaad Azlaan, a man deeply affected by betrayal, state oppression, and trauma. Set in a dystopian world where fear and silence are tools of control.<\/span><\/p>\n

Farhad is caught between feelings of guilt and a desire for revenge. It’s hard for him because of the choices he can\u2019t change now.<\/span><\/p>\n

When he brought Rida Maheen into his life, it left wounds that can\u2019t be seen, turning love into betrayal. She acts wild sometimes, like a storm, and other times she’s just a sad ghost that tricks him. Thinking about her always feels like a trap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there’s Naina Kareem. She’s smart and keeps things straight at work. She stays away at first, but when Farhaad’s pain comes out, she gets closer. What was just being on his side turns into something more. In the calm times during jobs, she starts liking the guy with all that fight in his eyes<\/span><\/p>\n

The Forsaken tells a good tale about getting even, dark secrets, and what you pay for every decision in a place that forgot him. It seems like it gets messy toward the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Inspired Hamza to Write The Forsaken?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Muhammad Hamza was inspired to write <\/span>The Forsaken<\/span> because he believes that staying silent often allows injustice to continue. The book explores the personal side of betrayal, showing how it quietly affects trust, identity, and inner strength.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Forsaken gives voice to these experiences and shows that even in the darkest times, endurance, resilience, and the possibility of recovery remain.<\/span><\/p>\n
