Relic (Pendergast, #1) / レリック　上

The mix of magic and romantic tension felt seamless but also quite unique. I wonder what inspired this combination and how it shaped the story.

The magic seemed to serve as a metaphor for inner struggles and desire, which made the romance feel even more layered. Did others interpret it the same way?

The world-building was rich and immersive, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
