Dare Seize the Fire

CONTENT WARNINGS

Part One of Seize the Fire includes the start of a war with a group of shapeshifters that is eventually destroyed entirely; reference and discussion of slavery (1680s colonies) but no graphic depictions; and discussion of transphobia and needing to stay closeted (non-graphic, there is no deadnaming, and the character’s pronouns are respected on page and by the narrator). There is non-graphic and what I hope is respectful acknowledgment of pregnancy and infant loss. All relationships are informed and consensual, but one does end very badly when one partner becomes toxic and controlling.

Part Two of Seize the Fire is darker than Part One. There is no graphic abuse shown on-page, but one character escapes an abusive relationship. This section also includes frank discussion of slavery (non-graphic, but discussed by characters who are slave-owners) and references to children born of slaves. There is a chapter that focuses on a character who is dying from illness. If you read Midnight Predator and especially if you read any of the Maeve’ra Trilogy, you’re familiar with Midnight and Jeshickah’s line, the background of which is explored in this portion.
