Il fuoco della vendetta (Ciclo dei Courtney)

Wilbur Smith's descriptions bring the continent to life, but I'm curious what inspired the specific locations and historical backdrop for this story.

Their actions seemed to reflect real conflicts and cultural tensions of the period, which added layers to their personalities. How did others interpret their choices?

The story builds tension without rushing, making me wonder if this was a deliberate choice to reflect the tumult of the era.
