Alter (Fantasy)

By Joshua Thomas

In the realm of Valdaria, every soul is born with an Alter, a mirrored version of themselves that exists in a parallel world known as the Reflection. The Alter is a person's tether to balance, emotion, and power, influencing their destiny in ways few fully understand. For centuries, the two realms have existed in harmony, bound by an unbreakable law: no one can cross between worlds. But when seventeen-year-old Alina discovers that her Alter is missing-an impossibility that should mean her death-her world begins to unravel.

Haunted by glimpses of her own reflection acting against her will and whispers of unrest within the Reflection, Alina sets out to uncover the truth. Her journey brings her to Kael, a rogue Alter who has somehow severed his bond to his human counterpart. Together, they delve into forbidden archives and ancient ruins, uncovering a dark conspiracy: a shadowy faction known as the Null is working to collapse the boundary between the two worlds, merging humans and Alters into a chaotic singularity that could destroy both realms.

As Alina grows closer to Kael, she begins to question her own identity and the choices that have defined her. Is she truly herself without her Alter? And what price is she willing to pay to restore the balance? With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Alina must face the ultimate question: are we defined by the reflections of who we are, or by the decisions we make when the mirror shatters? Alter is a sweeping fantasy tale of duality, self-discovery, and the fragile threads that connect us to our true selves.
