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

Before joining the Silver Owls, Bryan always used to go to the Damascus Police Station every alternate day to practice his gun shooting.


However, after he joined the Silver Owls, there was no need to anymore. Since the practice area of the underground HQ had all the amenities, including a sparring area, spell casting area, and also a shooting range.


When Officer Smith saw Bryan come out of the steam car, he was initially surprised, then puzzled, and finally wide-eyed.


Being one of the senior-most officers of the Damascus Police Station, he was naturally privy to certain knowledge that the general public wasn't. Such as the existence of Transcendents!


On more than a few occasions, he had personally worked with the members of the Silver Owl. So naturally, he was slightly familiar with the team captain, Robert, and other individuals such as Andrew and Elijah.


That is why he was so shocked to see Bryan coming out of the car with them!
