𝕊𝕪𝕟𝕠𝕡𝕤𝕚𝕤:

"Alternate" is the Eric Linnaeus series but with one major difference... Mercury Linnaeus - Eric's father, lived. In this dark fantasy, the Fae, an ancient race of elves, face the deities known as the Vanir in a centuries-old war.

Mercury's continued existence has earned his family a fearsome reputation, and as his influence only grows, the world grovels at his feet. The Vanir wreak havoc, destroying any who dare resist and eliminating entire species. In the present day, it is only the fae who remain to stand against the Vanir, but with their apathetic nature and dwindling population, the future looks bleak.

The only hope for peace lies in the unlikely relationship between a disgraced fae, Nathaniel, and the tainted son of Mercury, Eric. However, with conflicting personalities and a deep-rooted hatred between their families, the journey to resolution is by no means easy.

Themes: enemies to lovers | forbidden love | Fae | ancient Norse gods | slow burn | dark fantasy | BL | mm romance | hurt/comfort | spicy.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a prequel to the original 5 books and set on a different timeline. You can begin at Book 1 and treat this as Book 6, OR you can begin here and treat it as Book 0.

When Alternate will be reader to buy in paperback????

Anshi Sharma

Are u thinking of making a web toon for this????

Hannah Marshall

Up to chapter 4 in the first alternate so far and does what happened in the past ever make sense? Like how did achaicus and Nathaniel override their father or what happened in Eric’s past? (I know I’ll get the answer if I read further it’s just so I’ll stop wondering about it) :)

Hannah Marshall

Im not sure if you like people showing you typing errors or not but I may have found one, not sure. In book 0 chapter 56 called ‘you can keep me’, paragraph 3 in the first sentence it ends with “blah blah blah him, s” instead of “blah blah blah him.” Does that make sense? Idk if it’s even wrong but either way oh well :)
