If you like cosmic horror with a massive heaping of biblical allusions and a gothic romance vibe, this book is probably for you :)

Content Warnings

Graphic: Incest and Colonisation

Minor: Forced institutionalization, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt

The forced institutionalisation isn't so in the normal sense; it's

more a woman who is restrained against her will for fear of her committing suicide and killing others

. Also worth mentioning, the Pale Queen emotionally manipulates the protagonists for prettymuch the entire plot of the book.
