It’s hard for me to imagine holding on to hatred as long as these characters do.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Bullying, Death, Domestic abuse, Gore, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Violence, Blood, Police brutality, Religious bigotry, Death of parent, and Classism
Moderate: Chronic illness, Blood, Death of parent, and Gaslighting
Minor: Confinement, Suicidal thoughts, Excrement, Antisemitism, Pregnancy, and War
There’s a LOT of violence, bit it’s the Middle Ages.
