Renaissance (Le Carnet rouge, Livre 1)

The balance between tension and chemistry kept me hooked, but I'm curious if this blend was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The story had some quiet moments that felt like breathing room, but I wondered if they served a specific purpose or if I just got caught up in the tension.

The environment played such a strong role in the mood and plot—I’d love to know if it was inspired by real places or fictional world-building.
