This was so beautifully written. Reminded me of the tale "Rappacini's Daughter" by Hawthorn (the author mentions it as having some inspiration). So if you loved that story and you love beautiful sapphic representation-- you'll love this one.
Graphic: Death, Violence, and War
Moderate: Torture, Toxic relationship, Blood, Kidnapping, and Abandonment
