You are not weak for protecting your peace.
This book centers neurodivergent experience, and many of the characters use nontraditional coping mechanisms to survive and reclaim autonomy.
All efforts have been made to portray trauma with care, neurodivergence with authenticity, and marginalized histories with respect.
These themes are portrayed through a fantasy lens, but they reflect real-world systems of identity, control, silence, and survival.
They are not used for shock value. They are part of the lived reality of the characters—especially those who have been silenced, dismissed, or erased.
The survivors deemed “too much” or “not enough” by the world around them.
