Who Is Alex, Really?

Hotel on the Edge (website)

At first glance, Alex is the kind of guy you think you’ve met before.

Charming, cynical, maybe even a little too confident for his own good. He walks into the story like a man who’s seen too much — or at least thinks he has. A loner by habit, not by choice. The kind of protagonist who would rather improvise than strategize. And yet, behind the sarcasm and sharp tongue, there’s something else. Something not even he fully understands.

So who is he, really?

A wanderer? A soldier who forgot the war? A failed romantic hiding behind smirks and one-liners? Or a reluctant hero in the making?

Throughout Hotel on the Edge, Alex becomes more than a narrator — he becomes the axis around which impossible choices and surreal events spin. He’s the one who asks questions when silence is safer. Who puts loyalty above rules. Who fails, doubts, bleeds — and still gets back up.

But make no mistake: this isn’t a "chosen one" story.

Alex doesn’t have a prophecy. He doesn’t get handed powers or cheat codes. What he has is instinct, grit, a wild sense of humor, and an ability to rally the unlikeliest allies — including those who once wanted him dead.

Readers often start by relating to him… and end by questioning whether they would’ve had the strength to do what he did.

In the end, who Alex is may be less important than who you become while walking beside him.
