Le Bal des ombres

The blend of real history and dark storytelling creates a compelling atmosphere. I'm curious what inspired this approach and how much research went into the historical details.

The characters' personal conflicts seemed to reflect the larger societal upheavals. Was this intentional, or did it emerge naturally from the story's setting?

The atmospheric backdrop really heightened the Gothic mood. I wonder what led to the decision to set the story in this particular historical context.
