The Tromonian Revolution

This book is set in December and centres around a Tromonia, which is an intoxicating red crystal which allows anyone who touches it to experience all of their desires. Elijah uses it first as he is unfulfilled with his life, running away from his parents with his younger sister and working a job to sustain himself to get to Tromonia. When he meets Max, an idealistic musician, he introduces him to Tromonia and he falls in love with it also, experiencing himself as a famous musician. Though, he believes that instead of experiencing what he wants, he is actually experiencing his future.

He becomes obsessed with this future, believing Tromonia is brining him further towards it. Eventually, as he becomes more narcissistic, he deludes himself into believing he is a sort of messiah figure and gathers followers claiming that there will be a revolution. That is until his followers steal the Tromonia and he falls into a deep depression, realising it is all a delusion.

Through Max's journey, Elijah becomes less dependent on Tromonia. When Max steals it from him, and after fighting through his withdrawls from it, he sees the beauty in his past relationships which he had ruined and attempts to become a better person.
