Rise of the Dawnbringer

The world-building around the fae hierarchy felt so intricate. I'm curious whether this came from folklore or the author's own imagination.

The chemistry between the characters was undeniable, but the misunderstandings kept dragging on. Was that intentional to build suspense?

The story seamlessly blends magic and romance, but I wonder if one was always meant to take center stage or if it evolved during writing.
