First thing's first, this is a fantasy novel set nearly a thousand years ago. The morals of some of the characters reflect that in one way or another.
Morally gray? We don't know her. A lot of the characters have very few modern morals, if any- and as said in the book description, this will contain nearly every major trigger. This will be the last trigger warning of the book.
*This chapter is subject to change as the story progresses, because even though I have the full outline- my characters tend to have a mind of their own.
*If there's anything I've missed PLEASE let me know.
