Hello, everyone!
Welcome to the world of The King's Remorse! I'm glad you're here, and I hope you enjoy!

This story is only posted here on Royal Road under the username -Werewolf14- and on Wattpad under the username -Werewolf14-. If you find it elsewhere, I did not post it there
This story is all mine and belongs to me. So does all of the art in this story- the cover of the story/the volumes, as well as the drawings in every chapter. I drew it all; it belongs to me and is mine. Do not use any of the drawings -in whole or in part- as yours. They do not belong to you.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: The King's Remorse is a fantasy story with fight scenes. There is blood and gore consistent with battles with weapons like swords and bows and arrows and magic. There are descriptions that give detail, although I avoid gratuitous descriptions. There is swearing. There is also manipulation and gaslighting, as well as many deaths, both of characters named and unnamed. The nature of one of the deaths was murder by neonaticide (death of a newborn under 24 hours old), which was the closest term I could find to describe what happened, although the murder was not committed by either parent. This particular death took place in the past, but has a very big effect on characters affected by the murder. There are mentions of past claims of child abuse that are false. The claims were made and were false, but still had many effects. A character has a great deal of anxiety. The King's Remorse contains a lot of trauma from various sources and there are characters in some dark places mentally. There is self-harm, both in the past and in the present in the story, although it is not glorified, nor is anything listed here. I have tagged this story with 'graphic violence' 'sensitive content' and 'profanity' for these reasons
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
I will put warnings at the top of chapters with particularly dark aspects, although please note that not every chapter will have one, even if there's fights. If I do add a warning to a chapter, there will be a brief summary of why the warning is there with the general content (clear but with as little detail as possible) and if I feel a summary is needed so nothing is missed, I will add that to the author's note at the end of the chapter with a watered-down description of what happened to hit the major plot points. However, I do want to restate that not every chapter will get its own warning, and that doesn't necessarily mean that 'nothing' happens that chapter- there still may be fights, difficult conversations, injuries, panic attacks, etc
Please note the trigger warnings list above and consider if The King's Remorse is right for you if any of the things mentioned are potentially triggering topics for you. Not every story is right for everyone, and the last thing I want is to accidentally give someone and unwanted surprise. There are so many stories out there, and plenty will be the right fit and a story you will love :) your mental well-being is important and no story is worth jeopardizing it!
I hope you enjoy, and welcome to the world of Ragdon!

Below is a drawing I did of the island of Ragdon, where the story of The King's Remorse takes place. There are also a few characters added (of course not to scale, though)
Yes, there are animal characters in The King's Remorse. Some can talk as humans do and do have some human-like ways of acting, yet also some mannerisms more closely aligned with the animal their character is based off of
