4.5
Graphic: Alcohol
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Torture, Blood, Kidnapping, Death, and Sexual content
Minor: Bullying, Physical abuse, and War
Characters drink wine and alcohol frequently but rarely to excess and is appropriate to the medieval-esque setting. Repeated references to main character’s childhood experience with physical/emotional abuse and bullying by his brothers. Multiple scenes with hand-to-hand combat where some people are killed. A couple of descriptive sex scenes. Kidnapping & torture: two important characters are taken by enemy soldiers and tortured to the point of needing extensive medical attention.
