Haus Ashford - Magisches Erbe (Stephen Oakwood 2)

The story's mood swings between somber and hopeful, and I'm curious how the author approached this tonal balance to keep readers engaged.

The magic seems deeply tied to the characters' inner struggles, making it feel more personal than rule-based. Was this intentional or a side effect?

The blend of modern life and fantasy elements felt fresh. I wonder if the author based it on a real city or created a completely fictional world.
