Veneno para la reina (Kingfountain)

The intricate power dynamics and court politics add so much depth to the story. I'm curious what drew Jeff Wheeler to this setting and how much of it was based on real history or pure imagination.

The magic feels like a quiet force rather than flashy spells, which made me think about its role in the characters' choices. Did the author intend for the magic to be more of an undercurrent or a pivotal element?

The characters are constantly navigating trust and betrayal, which kept me guessing. Did anyone else find themselves questioning who was truly on whose side?
