Eine Fähre aus Knochen und Gold

The ferry feels like such a vivid and atmospheric location — I wonder if it was inspired by real places or purely from imagination. How did the author craft this moody, otherworldly backdrop?

The characters face tough decisions that blur the lines between right and wrong. I kept questioning how much their choices were driven by love versus duty. Was that intentional?

The romantic elements add such depth, but sometimes made the darker moments hit harder. Did the author aim for a balance between passion and peril, or was that a happy accident?
