Terciel and Elinor

The way magic is woven into the world-building felt so vivid and alive. I wonder if the author based it on any real-world traditions or created it entirely from imagination.

Their love story felt tender yet resilient, set against a backdrop of danger. I’m curious whether the romance was always central or developed naturally during writing.

The lighter moments made the story feel more real and less heavy, even during tense scenes. Did the author plan this tonal balance from the start?
