Duel at Araluen

The build-up kept me on edge, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or developed during writing. What do you think influenced that pacing?

The choices they made added depth, but I’m curious if others saw moments where their loyalties felt more complex than simple friendship.

The world feels rich and immersive, and I’d love to know if it’s based on real places or entirely imagined by the author.
