RUIN

Not suitable for those under the age of 21.

This is biographical fiction. It is not and has never been romance.

Avoid this book if you have any triggers surrounding childhood abuse of any kind.

As a mature adult reader, it is your responsibility to check the content information before you read this book. If you believe any of these themes may affect you negatively, or if you cannot comprehend or find the information you require regarding content that may be detrimental to your mental health, it’s best if you avoid these books.

This biographical style fiction novel is not romance. They are stories of survival, devastation, and horrific abuse. If you cannot comprehend the following information, please avoid this book.

PART 1 - Carlie’s Story ends positively for the main character after a horrific journey. This is a survivor story with some romantic elements.

PART 2 – Trystan’s Story does not end with a HEA. The MC is the perpetrator/villain and does not survive. The main character (Trystan) is a sexual sadist (not to be confused with consensual sadism in a BDSM setting); his preference is for nonconsenting people of any sex/gender.

This novel contains scenes from real life experiences of people who have survived horrific abuse (where necessary; it is with their full permission).

Part 1 is first and foremost a story of survival after horrific sexual abuse. The consensual sex scenes that take place after Carlie’s rescue are not intense or highly detailed. It was important to stay true to Carlie’s journey and not turn it into one centered around her sexual experiences, but rather her survival.

Part 2. Most of the sex scenes in part two of this novel border on consensual non-consent, dubious consent, or rape. Almost all contain some form of violence. The main character, *Trystan, has multiple paraphilic disorders, and little to no empathy. His main goal is to inflict pain on those around him, regardless of their age, gender identity, or sex. This character is not supposed to be liked and does not get a happy ending.

*Writing characters such as these does not mean the author condones their behaviour. Please use critical thinking skills. If you condone the actions of this character or identify with them or their actions, seek professional help immediately.
