Il marchio della peste

The mix of real historical context with magical elements made the story feel both educational and exciting. I wonder if this approach was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The way the illness spread and affected people felt very visceral. It made me think about how historical pandemics impacted communities and individuals alike.

The detailed world-building brought the time period to life, but I'm curious whether the setting was chosen because of specific historical events or for its narrative potential.
