Lair of Dreams

The setting feels so vivid and immersive, but I wonder what inspired the mix of real history with fantasy. Was it a conscious choice from the start or did it develop during writing?

Some scenes felt surreal and open to interpretation, which made me wonder about the author’s approach to balancing clarity and mystery. Did the dream logic come naturally in the story?

I was struck by how personal and layered their journeys were amid the supernatural plot. How did the author craft these emotional layers alongside the mystery?
