Trigger warnings for most things that could be triggering so proceed with care. A dark tale of a man who was hired to find a missing boy ten years ago and tells his story to an inquisitor after that same boy has died.
Magic, myth, mystery and graphic psychological horror abound wrapped in a queer romantic adventure about love, family, found family, masculinity, and pride.
There's also misogyny but it's explored as a character flaw of the character that most displays it.

Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Body horror, Body shaming, Child death, Confinement, Death, Genocide, Gore, Incest, Misogyny, Rape, Sexual content, Slavery, Torture, Violence, Blood, Kidnapping, Grief, Murder, Dysphoria, War, and Injury/Injury detail
Beastiality takes place but there wasn't a content warning for that.
I've put all content warnings as graphic as you're very invovled with the characters that experience them and the writing is very blunt so it can be shocking but for most content warnings and readers I would suggest it's more around the moderate warning but better safe than sorry
