The Heir of the Dynasty follows a king and queen who are responsible for running the Secret World Government who are ready to pass on the throne to their daughter and must teach their grandchildren about the family legacy. What inspired the setup of your story?

After finishing the novel The Wealth of the Great Kingdom, I felt the urge to move the story forward a millennium, into the modern world. This idea of a sequel in the distant future is at the heart of the construction of my story.

I find the world you created in this novel brimming with possibilities. Where did the inspiration for the setting come from and how did it change as you were writing?

The inspiration for my setting is complex and evolved during the writing process itself: Relation to previous story: The setting is based on the actions of the previous book, The Wealth of the Great Kingdom. This connection to an already created world is the basis of the construction of the details.

Personal experiences: I am fortunate to have traveled to many corners of the world, and some of these places are woven into the description of my world. These personal experiences enrich the details of the setting.

The Power of Imagination: Of course, I could not have created this world without my imagination. My goal was to create places that are both familiar and unfamiliar to the reader, to immerse him in a fascinating atmosphere.

Adapting to the story: As the characters developed and the story unfolded, I had to adapt some aspects of the world to meet their needs and actions. This flexibility is key to creating a realistic and dynamic setting.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

In my story, several important themes are intertwined that shape the plot and the message: Family Relationships: I explore the dynamics between parents and children, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren. Different perspectives of different generations are presented to highlight the complexity of family ties.

Responsibility to Family: I consider the question of our responsibilities to our family members. How to balance personal desires with the needs of family is a key question that my characters must resolve.

Consequences of Secrets: I question the consequences of keeping secrets. When it is justified to hide the truth and when it is not – this is a dilemma that my characters face in order to understand themselves and their loved ones.

Will there be a follow-up novel to this story? If so, what aspects of the story will the next book cover?

Yes, I plan to write a continuation of the story. In it, I would like to delve into some of the topics raised, such as: The implications of carrying the burden of legacy and the challenges of governance in a complex world. I would also like to further explore the development of my characters and their relationships with each other.
