Trigger Warnings
The Vale Series is escapist fiction. As you would expect with any adventure series it features mild to moderate violence, mature language and sexual references.
However it’s a brutal universe and occasionally we visit places some readers might find disturbing. While these instances are infrequent, I would like you to have advance notice.
You will encounter references to and descriptions of: drug use, alcohol abuse, self-harm, domestic violence, mental illness and sexual assault.
It’s impossible to compile a comprehensive list of triggers as they can be complex and unique. My overall advice is the Vale Series is adult fiction (18+) and should be approached as such.
A list of chapters some readers my find disturbing is listed below. Please be aware this list is a work in progress. I may add to it after discussing scenes with readers.
As always I’m here to help, if you have questions please feel free to get in touch.
