Un Fléau de Sang & de Pierre

The story weaves intense magic scenes with emotional romance — I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The detailed magic system and political intrigue really drew me in. I’m curious if the author mapped all of this out beforehand or let it grow organically.

The curse adds such a personal layer to the story, making the stakes feel intimate and high. I wonder if that was based on a myth or purely fictional invention.
