Honorable canaille (Le Saint de Seven Dials t. 1)

The book had moments of lighthearted banter alongside serious stakes — I wonder how the author planned that mix to keep readers engaged.

The way the characters navigated their societal roles felt so authentic. Did the author draw from personal knowledge of the Regency era or research extensively?

The Regency backdrop felt so vividly realized. I'm curious whether the author has a personal connection to this era or if it was chosen for its romantic appeal.
