Heat Stroke

The mix of romance and danger kept me on edge, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to reflect the characters' inner conflicts. Would love to hear what inspired this balance.

The world-building felt rich, yet some of the rules seemed to shift unexpectedly. Was this intentional to keep the story unpredictable or a result of developing the magic as they went?

The title 'Heat Stroke' hints at the intense atmosphere, but I'm curious about the real inspiration behind using heat as a metaphor for magic and passion.
