Content Guide for The Velessar Saga
Combat
Within the books, there’s realistic fantasy combat with a focus on close-quarters combat. The fighting in the books is for the spectacle of the fight, the combatants' ability, and to show the clashing of ideals.
The Arts
While the power of the Arts may look like magic at a quick glance, there’s the distinction that is made that the Arts are akin to having superpowers or having a natural gift rather than leaning into the occult.
There are evil cults in the book series, but the focus is not on their practices, but on them being some of the villains of the series.
Light Cosmic Horror
There are some light cosmic horror aspects in The Velessar Saga, especially in the first two books. Cosmic horror mainly focuses on the fear of the unknown and about creating an atmosphere of mystery.
The best way to convey the feeling of this style of light horror is to imagine yourself snorkeling and looking out into the vast depths of the ocean, wondering what's out in its depths.
Mystery
Throughout the series, mystery and the unknown play a large part in each book.
In The Voice from the Well, several puzzle pieces are left unsolved. Some explanations around a few of those mysteries are given by untrustworthy characters that reflect what they believe to be true. As the series goes on, more and more of the mysteries set up in Books #1-#3 will be fully revealed.
Romance
While there is some romance later in the in the series, there’s no “Adult content”. Enough said.
The series follows the main characters throughout the years and there might be some wholesome romance in Book #4 for some of the characters.
