A Dark and Secret Magic. Amore e incantesimi all’ora del tè

The blend of spooky atmosphere and warmth feels unique—did the author imagine this as a seasonal story from the start or develop it along the way?

The story’s tension partly hinges on secrecy, and I wonder how others felt about whether keeping secrets was necessary or harmful.

The magic feels both mysterious and personal—I'm curious if the author based the system on anything specific or crafted it purely for mood.
