Le Prince du Désert (Le Cycle du Crépuscule, T1)

The vivid descriptions made the environment feel alive, but I wonder if the author drew from real cultures or created everything from imagination.

His ambitions feel justified but sometimes morally grey. How did others interpret his actions — hero or anti-hero?

The story weaves complex diplomacy with personal growth, and I’m curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
