Mahi Aktar is an author who finds inspiration in the clash between order and chaos, whether in the precise patterns of a crime scene or the unpredictable mechanics of a Dark Souls boss fight. When not writing about complex women bending the rules of justice, Mahi is likely over-caffeinated, strategizing a comeback in a video game, or meticulously planning a story that refuses to follow the outline. Arya Venn-I is their debut novel.
