Clash of Claws

The balance between the fantastical and the romantic felt seamless, but I wonder what inspired that blending. Did they envision the romance as core or as a complement to the magic?

The magic system and paranormal lore felt very detailed, making me curious if the author planned out everything beforehand or let it develop organically during writing.

The setting felt unique and immersive. I'm curious whether real-world mythology influenced it or if it was entirely created from the author's imagination.
