The Half-Drowned King

The mix of real history and legend made the world feel authentic yet fantastical. I'm curious if this was a conscious choice from the start or evolved during writing.

His decisions often felt like a mix of survival and ambition, which made me question what I would do in his position. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

The setting feels alive and richly detailed, but I'm wondering what drew the author to this specific time and place for this epic tale.
