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

Inside a black-colored steam car, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes was anxiously waiting, fidgeting every now and then. From time to time he looked out of the window trying to find the person he was waiting for. A trace of nervousness as well as excitement could be seen in his eyes.


A few minutes later, a beautiful young brunette lady with brown eyes and wearing a black dress, stepped out of her mansion gates and looked around. The young man got out of the car and waved at her, "Meryl, here!"


The young man was none other than Dillon McCarthy, and this was the couple that had met Bryan when he had first arrived in Nadir. Meryl gazed at Dillon and then elegantly walked toward the car. Despite that, her steps still appeared to be a little rushed.


After the girl got inside the car, she looked at Dillon in disbelief. "Did you… also have the same dream?"


Dillon nodded vigorously. "Why else would I be here?"


A Fair Deal
