La fanciulla dello scudo

The mix of real historical settings and dragons creates a unique world. I'm curious how the idea for this fusion came about during the writing process.

The characters' struggles felt so rooted in their time period, which made their personal journeys even more impactful. Did the historical background influence how you connected with the story?

Her strength and resilience stood out to me—I'm wondering if this was inspired by specific historical figures or entirely fictional choices.
