"The Antithetical" is a gripping tale of fantasy, horror, and adventure that transports readers to a world where gods and mortals coexist in a tenuous balance. However, when the kingdom of Allano is thrown into chaos and despair, its citizens are driven to madness and the protagonist, an undying being trapped in a place reserved for the broken and wretched, finds a glimmer of hope. Determined to uncover the truth behind the curse plaguing the kingdom, the protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption. As the protagonist delves deeper into the mystery, they encounter incredible obstacles and unearth secrets that challenge their beliefs and push the boundaries of their imagination. Through this journey, the protagonist grapples with themes of identity, morality, and fate, and comes face-to-face with their own limitations. The outcome of their journey is uncertain, but one thing is for certain: they will never be the same person again._____________________________________"The Antithetical" is my first (short) novel. It springs from my love of fantasy, philosophy, Lovecraft and From Software. I hope you enjoy it, and if so, please leave constructive feedback. Please remember that, as I said, The Antithetical is/was my first novel.As Brandon Sanderson said, "If you are a new writer, your job is to turn yourself into a person who can write great novels, NOT write a great novel."I'm not "satisfied" by any means, but I will apply what I've learned to my next novel.
