Ring shout. Cantique rituel

The mix of real history and fantasy felt seamless and powerful. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice from the start or something that evolved during writing.

The book doesn't shy away from tough truths, and those moments really hit hard. How do readers process such intense, real-world echoes within a fantasy setting?

The atmosphere felt deeply rooted and authentic, making the supernatural battles feel even more visceral. I wonder what research or personal connections influenced this choice.
