Classism, Combat, Disregard for personal autonomy (kidnapping / enslavement / abduction), Shaming, Sexism / Misogyny, Slurs
Author Notes:
This is the first chapter of my fantasy murder mystery novel, sans prologue.
- This chapter has references to the prologue. How does it read without it?
- Do you have any suggestions of sub-genres of fantasy it may fit into?
- Does the first chapter pique enough interest to read further?
