Altered Straits - Thryft

Mystical creatures in alternate 1947 Singapore.

"Altered Straits" could be a good read for fans of fantasy and sci-fi. The unique blend of alternate history, mystical creatures, and dystopian future creates a compelling and immersive world. The dual narratives of Naufal and Titus provide an interesting contrast between past and future, while the concept of the merlion adds a touch of local Singaporean flavour. Readers will be drawn into the high-stakes conflict against the Concordance and the struggle to ensure the survival of humanity.
