Dunkles Blut

The book's atmosphere feels intense and raw—did the author draw from real-life events or personal experiences to craft this mood?

The characters often operate in morally gray areas, which made me question what I would do in their situation. How did the author approach portraying such complex figures?

The pacing kept me guessing, but I wonder if the decision to alternate perspectives and timelines was planned from the start or developed during writing.
