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

Beautiful feathery snowflakes fell from the sky as they covered the city in a blanket of white. The roofs of the various buildings seemed to be enveloped by cottony carpets.


It was four in the evening and the sun had already hidden behind fluffy clouds as the sky turned grayish. 


This sudden gentle drizzle of snow had completely changed the entire landscape. One moment everything was a mix of myriad colors, the next moment it had all turned to white. It was simply magical!


The people on the streets halted in their footsteps and looked up at the sky in pleasant surprise. The little children came out of their houses in delight, looking around in wonder.


Damascus had finally welcomed its first snow of the year!


Bryan stepped out of his apartment wearing a black three-piece suit, a gray overcoat, and a black fedora hat. He looked at the surroundings and smiled faintly, "Winter has arrived."
