The Cursed

The world-building feels so vivid and immersive. I'm curious whether the mythologies or personal experiences influenced the creation of these curses and powers.

The chemistry between the characters is intense, but the stakes make it feel so much more risky. How did the author balance the heat with the darker themes?

The internal conflict adds so much depth to the story. I'm wondering if this was inspired by real struggles with acceptance or more of a narrative choice.
