Author Note
Below, you'll find the content/trigger warnings for Dawn of the Darkest Day. This book is only intended for readers who are mature enough to read Adult categorized books (18+).
I've separated the content notes into sections detailing if they are found on or off the page, and if they are prevalent themes throughout the story. Prevalent themes means things you will frequently see on-page and referenced as a main element of the plot. For some readers, distinctions like this can be a make or break if they'll read a book. At times, writing this book was difficult, and I imagine for some, reading it will be, too.
Dawn of the Darkest Day is the first in a four book epic fantasy series. Book 1 is heavily relationship focused, with themes of betrayal and abuse. The characters are required to navigate the consequences of these difficult relationships amid the main series conflict that is more prevalent in books 2-4. While both the POV characters in the first book experience different romantic relationships, these deviate from many of the beats, tropes, and expectations of traditional romance novels. That being said, I do guarantee a HEA (happily ever after) by the end of the series for our main three characters (Ara, Vayne, and Stedd), which will eventually be a why-choose.
If anything on the list is unclear, please feel free to reach out - I am always happy to answer any questions!
