Touch her and die...
[TW for trauma & physical abuse]
Kat organizes life, others' actions, her own actions as 'safe' and 'dangerous'. As someone who has trauma from past experiences and lives in a very patriarchal world, she works continuously to be obedient, and small.
Both mean safety for her. Both mean that she can hopefully save what's left of her crumbling estate and go back to her world of anonymity.
But court life, plotting fae, and the Serpent upend it all for her.
Sager created a world through Kat's eyes that is dangerous, dark, yet has moments of light, curiosity, hope and growth.
100% ready to see what happens after THAT ENDING.
