4.0
Graphic: Pedophilia, Fire/Fire injury, Blood, Sexual assault, Violence, Rape, Physical abuse, Kidnapping, Drug use, Domestic abuse, Trafficking, and Sexual violence
Moderate: Sexism, Religious bigotry, Slavery, and Colonisation
Minor: Death of parent, Addiction, Abortion, and Alcoholism
This book handles really dark things and treats them as reality. The main character wants to change this reality and restore a semblance of justice but that doesn’t happen in this book (book 1 of 3).
