Hi all, I've realised that in my current WiP concerning the Dark Lord that the endgame antagonist is not going to be revealed until the end.
The course of the tale is a sort of road trip of self discovery by the Dark Lord, the key point being the reveal of the antagonist at the end.
Is this acceptable or do I need to drop in more subtle hints? The aim of the tale is more about how the Dark Lord reacts rather than what the antagonist is doing but I'm concerned that readers may discount them as background fodder.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
