WARNING



This book contains mature and explicit content that bends the mind's perception of what it means to be human and what it means to believe in a higher power. Please be warned that if you are a highly devoted person of faith to any one religion, or are easily offended, this book may not be suitable for your enjoyment.



This book contains graphic, adult content that may be triggering for some individuals, including but not limited to: the opposing forces of good and evil, murder, theft, unprovoked attacks, self-sacrifice, demonic possession, mono- and poly-theism, manipulation, sadism, abuse of power, imprisonment, servitude, inner conflict, nightmares, wrongfully accused sentence, morbid curiosity of death and dying, self-loathing, the stages of grief, de-programming from upbringing, religious differences, unrequited love, idolization, cultural differences, betrayal, casual sex, profanity, voyeurism, rape, bondage, humiliation, threats, and prostitution.



This series contains mature, graphic and explicit content intended to entertain readers by opening their minds to multiple perspectives; including the massively harsh gray areas of life that have made us all victims, heroes, and villains of circumstance.



Be prepared for a vacation away from your mundane reality to a fantasy world askew to the stranger-than-fiction one you're currently navigating. Filled with myth and legends that come to life across time and space, be careful not to pick up too many new kinks along the read.



As an informed, 18 year old+ adult, if you get triggered or offended, please know that I wrote this from a place of compassionate understanding as a confused, God-fearing woman of mixed race, culture, and spiritual beliefs with the privilege to survive/thrive through multiple careers in a debt-filled, 1st world country built on genocide and slavery alongside loved ones plagued by prejudices and inequalities.



Just like you, I have suffered and my family has suffered. I pray to spend as much peaceful time with loved ones as I am allowed, without worry of dying by war, famine, or mine own neighbor's hand. God only knows why my miserably beautiful existence is blessed enough to still rise with the sun when truly greater people have been called home sooner than I would've liked.
