Content Warnings

Graphic: Grief and Racism

Moderate: Sexual violence, Rape, Slavery, Car accident, Death, Sexual assault, and Death of parent

Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Drug abuse, and Violence

Context/clarification for certain content warnings are below:

Most of the moderate warnings are self-explanatory. I chose to make Rape, Sexual Violence, and Sexual Assault moderate because one of the main character's ancestors is a slave who was raped, and the main character does witness this, but there is not explicit detail used to describe it. It is left implied, but is discussed again later in the story. For the Minor warnings: There is a brief scene at the very beginning where college students are jumping off a cliff into a body of water for fun. The main character, as I interpreted the scene, seemed to briefly consider joining them and contemplating dying as a result. Another character is able to use magic, and a side effect of using a large amount of magic is that he appears to get drunk/high, so I included drug abuse. And a general violence content warning for the fights in the book.
