A note for parents

Dawn is a challenging science fiction novel exploring genetic engineering, consent, and human adaptation after apocalypse. It contains thoughtful themes about survival and identity but includes sexual content involving non-human reproduction with humans, psychological coercion, and disturbing body horror. This is adult-oriented speculative fiction best suited for mature teens and adults who can engage with ethically complex scenarios.
