I had the same question when I first picked it up! The title and the marketing made it seem like a historical courtroom drama about some medieval heretic trial, but no, it's pure fantasy. The 'trial' is a metaphysical courtroom set in a sort of purgatory, judging a demon prince ('Asmodeus') for crimes against cosmic balance. The characters are angels, old gods, and souls of the damned. I guess the 'based on true events' vibe comes from the author's detailed, almost legalistic prose style when describing the procedures; it feels eerily real. But the events themselves? Totally invented.

That said, the emotional core—the themes of justice, guilt, and redemption—feels incredibly human and grounded. Maybe that's what people are sensing when they ask about truth. The fantasy framework lets the author explore those big questions without historical constraints.

Fantasy, 100%. No real events. The 'trial' is a metaphor stretched into a novel. It's about putting sin itself on trial, using a demon as the defendant. The setting is abstract, the rules are made up, and the outcome rewrites metaphysical laws. Calling it based on true events would be a massive stretch. It's a thought experiment in novel form.

It's fantasy, but a very specific kind. The worldbuilding borrows heavily from real-world demonology and angelic hierarchies found in texts like the Ars Goetia, so it has a scholarly, almost historical-fiction texture to its magic system. You won't find any 'based on a true story' tagline on the cover. The plot is original, but the mythological furniture is sourced from actual occult traditions, which gives it a weight a lot of pure secondary-world fantasy lacks. The trial itself is fiction, but the lore surrounding Asmodeus isn't wholly invented.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed it wasn't historical. The blurb was vague, and I went in expecting something like 'The Name of the Rose' but with a demonic defendant. The first few chapters kept me guessing—the setting is so austere and the logic so procedural. Then a character grew wings. That cleared it up. It's a fantastic book, but classifying it is tricky. It's not epic fantasy with quests, nor is it urban fantasy. It's a theological fantasy courtroom drama. If you're looking for realism, look elsewhere. If you want a deeply philosophical plot that uses fantasy to ask unanswerable questions, it's perfect.
