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

The reception continued for a long time. Everyone was in a fantastic mood, especially with the Wilson sisters around. Bryan had grown tired of smiling and chatting with everyone throughout the course of the reception.


And before that, he even had a 'battle' with Claudia, which caused much strain on him mentally. Claudia astutely noticed this, and as a way to make it up to him, she temporarily took the position of the host.


Everyone gathered was really surprised by this. They couldn't help but wonder just what Bryan's relationship with the Wilson sisters was. And the most surprised of them all was in fact, Grace!


She had seen how condescendingly Claudia had spoken to Bryan at the entrance of the house when she entered. And now when she saw her sister helping out Bryan, she couldn't help but wonder just what had happened between the two that caused such a change.
