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

Bryan got off the public carriage as he paid the driver and thanked him for the ride. He was about to enter an alleyway and change into his black robe when out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a slightly dilapidated two-storied red house.


And Bryan recognized this house. This house on 98 West 10th Street belonged to Kenny Adams!


Thinking back to all those months ago when he had fought a gruesome battle with Kenny and almost lost his life in the process, he couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast…"


Come to think of it, after killing Kenny Adams, he had saved Fiona Dyke who was tied up in the basement. And through Fiona, Bryan was able to get acquainted with her mother, Lily Dyke.


This house was also the place where he had met Robert and a few other members of the Strike Team for the very first time!
