Across Dark Seas

The details about the fae society and magic were so vivid—I kept imagining stepping into that world. Was this level of depth planned from the start or did it develop as the story grew?

I loved how the line between hero and villain was blurred, making every decision feel weighty. Did the author intend to challenge traditional pirate or fantasy stereotypes with this character?

The combination felt fresh and exciting, but I wonder if it was inspired by any particular myths or stories that Clare Sager grew up with or researched.
