A note for parents
Witch King is a dark fantasy featuring a morally complex protagonist with pain-based magic, assassination, imprisonment, and political intrigue. While not graphically violent, the tone is mature and emotionally heavy, with themes of betrayal, trauma, and survival that suit older teens. The book includes LGBTQ+ representation and explores meaningful character relationships, but the dark atmosphere and sophisticated plot require emotional maturity.
