Blood Guard - Tome 1 - L'Ordre sinistre

The way magic works feels so unique and detailed—I'm curious whether the author developed it from scratch or drew inspiration from existing myths.

Their friendship and loyalty really stood out to me, but I wondered if that was intentional or just a happy coincidence in the narrative.

There were moments of intense adventure but also heartfelt scenes—I'm curious how the pacing was planned or evolved during writing.
