Yes the Hand of Fate is Kyranida II, and has a great story and lots of fun in it, plus some beautiful screens and great places to explore as the game progresses. The Kyrandia series was based on a origonal story that was developed into the series, and the series never really got the best promotion as it was released, they changed marketing execs about the stage that Hand of Fate was released and they just did not give it all the PR it deserved.
the series is

Kyrandia I The Legend of Kyranida
(Fables and Fiends)
Kyrandia II Hand of Fate
Kyrandia III Malcolm's Revenge

and they were all released with music and then with voices later on, some of the music is really nice for all the games. These are some of the very best adventure games made, with a nice balance of beautiful scenes, nice character development and story line, and fun puzzles and risks throughout.

There is a great article archived on this site at

Enjoy. There are copies on Amazon and E Bay most of the time, and there were some combined releases of all of the games I am pretty sure.
