The Devil You Know

The historical details bring the setting to life, but I'm curious what drew Liz Carlyle to this particular period and how it shaped the characters' choices.

His past mistakes felt heavy, and I wondered if this made his journey toward love feel more genuine or a bit rushed. How did others interpret his growth?

The story seamlessly weaves personal relationships with societal stakes. I'm curious if that was a conscious choice from the start or if it evolved during writing.
