The leaves have fallen,
The cold of winter is near,
In these shadowed lands.
Here we wait for spring,
For warmth and life and regrowth,
For Persephone.

Are there any triggering events in your books? I'm interested in reading the series of Hades and Persephone but I need to know in advance if i should prepare mentally. Sorry for my English. Lots of love and take care.
There is a scene of dubious consent between Hades and Persephone that is heavily dealt with throughout the book, there is an “on screen” murder, and a scene of rape while intoxicated that isn’t graphic but exists to set the juxtaposition of sex and power dynamics work within the structure of oppressive patriarchal societies. There are mentions of death, starvation, abuse, rape, violence, neglect, abandonment, and several other things that might trigger people but given the subject matter I felt that my books would be incomplete without them.
