Content Warnings and Author Note

For An Ember in the Dawn of Night

An Ember is not a lighthearted story and contains themes and content that may be distressing or triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story contains:

  • Sexually explicit content

  • Foul language

  • On-page death of a teen

  • Brief but on-page death of a child while the FMC is hallucinating

  • Violence

  • Strangulation

  • Anxiety/Panic Attacks

  • Non-consensual sex in the backstory of a side character

  • Threat of non-consensual sex in backstory of FMC

  • Burning/Burns

  • Brief reference to suicide

  • Grief and loss depiction

  • Family death in backstory of FMC, including death of children, that plays a pivotal role in her story

Many of these elements are pivotal to the character arcs and story and are explored in descriptive detail. Your mental health is important to me, so please ensure you are comfortable with the content before you read. Lydia begins An Ember in a bad place; chapter 1 dives right in and contains the on-page death of a teen.

 

The odds of being born a human is estimated to be around 400 trillion to 1. The odds of being born YOU? So astronomically tiny as to be statistically impossible. You were meant to be here, and I am glad that you are.

Happy reading, friend. Or perhaps a “good luck” is better suited.
