"If you made it through Little Thieves, you ought to be fine with this one. That said, this story contains the following potential triggers: verbal and physical abuse, abandonment, anxiety and panic attacks, blood and gore, mention of animal death (off-page), misuse of animal carcass, cults, mention of death of a parent (off-page), body image issues, and sexual situations. Oh, and for one unfortunate prefect: horses." -- colophon
