Le jeu de l'assassin

The setting feels so layered and immersive, and I’m curious whether the author drew from specific mythologies or created everything from scratch.

Her struggle between duty and desire made me wonder how much of her actions were driven by her environment versus her personal morals.

I loved how the romance added depth to the story, but I wonder if the author intended for the love to be as much a source of conflict as the external threats.
