The Secret Crown

The blend of history and adventure kept me hooked, but I'm curious if the idea of the crown was based on real artifacts or pure fiction.

I loved the depth they added, but at times it made the story feel a bit sluggish. Was that intentional to build suspense or just how the story evolved?

Switching between the present and past kept me guessing, but I wonder what was the creative process behind structuring the narrative this way.
