My novel has a steampunk world setting, so expect a lot of steam-powered technology as well as retro-looking futuristic inventions. Furthermore, there will be churches, secret organizations, and cults. So if you're a fan of LotM—which I have taken inspiration from btw—you will definitely like my novel. Also, this is my first attempt at writing a novel so you might find some mistakes here and there. Just know that I'm constantly trying to improve. Cheers!

The Deceitful One

Out of the five people, three were men and two were women. When Bryan introduced himself, Andrew was the first one to greet him back. 


He stood up from his chair and walked to Bryan as he stretched out his right hand, "It's been a while, Bryan. My name's Andrew."


Bryan looked at this man who had black hair and blue eyes and shook his hand with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Andrew."


Then he thought of something and asked in puzzlement, "Wait, you said it's been a while. Have we met before?"


Andrew nodded his head and smirked, "Yes. In the infirmary at the church. You were all bandaged up back then, moaning from time to time. Hehe, Ron was there too."


'Scumbag! Did you have to mention the moaning part?' Bryan's lips twitched as he thought inwardly. 


Then another person approached Bryan. She looked to be in her late twenties and had red hair and brown eyes. She was a pretty good-looking lady who was wearing simple brown leather pants and a white shirt
