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

Donald sat at the dinner table in his apartment on the outskirts of Nadir. His two kids—a boy and a girl—were playing board games in the living room, meanwhile, his wife was cooking dinner in the kitchen.


A few minutes later, his wife walked to the dinner table carrying a tray full of food. She looked at her children and smiled dotingly. "Kids, dinner is ready."


The children ran around the dinner table happily. When Donald saw the smile on their faces, he couldn't help but smile as well. "Don't get too tired before eating. Come on, now."


"Yes, papa!" The children giggled and sat at the dinner table. The family of four then began to eat merrily. As Donald saw his family eating with content smiles, he couldn't help but feel grateful to Bryan.
