Author’s Note

A content warning from the author

Certain themes in this epic tale may be distressing to the reader, particularly those surrounding misogyny and sexism. More specifically, domestic violence, sexual harassment/assault, and attempted forced sterilization. The reader will experience grief, child loss, death, and graphic depictions of violence within these pages. Thankfully, dragons are less prone to viciousness than humans, and fire is not always destructive. There are points of light and hope as Aemyra burns brightly for the people she loves and the territory she calls home.
