Reader Disclaimer
This book is a work of fiction, and it is written to move you. That is the point of it. This page says plainly what that does and does not mean.
It is a novel
SalsSky: The Chosen One is fiction. Its characters, places and events are invented. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or to actual places or events, is coincidental and not intended.
It is not advice
Nothing in the book, the narration, the film, this site or anything the author writes in the community is medical, psychological, therapeutic, legal, financial or professional advice, and none of it is a substitute for it. The book describes a character's inner life. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe anything for yours.
If you are struggling with your mental or physical health, please speak to a qualified professional where you live. A story is not a clinician and this one does not pretend to be.
It can affect you, and that is your own affair
Readers have told us this book unsettled them, or changed how they saw something. That is what serious fiction sometimes does, and it is one of the reasons to read it. But it means you should know what you are opening.
The story contains passages of fear, violence, loss, grief and physical danger, and moments written to be genuinely disquieting. You read, listen and watch at your own discretion and your own risk. Only you can judge what you are ready for; if a passage is too much, stop, and nothing on this site will pressure you to continue.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for how the work affects you emotionally or for decisions you make after reading it. That limit does not apply to death or personal injury caused by our negligence, to fraud, or to anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Nothing here is promised as a result
This book is not sold as self-improvement and no outcome is promised — no transformation, no healing, no success, no change of any kind. What is sold is the book. What you take from it is yours, and it is not something anyone can guarantee.
Ages
Written for adult readers. Its themes and some of its scenes are not suitable for younger readers, and a parent or guardian should decide.
The world of the book
The world pages, the glossary and the journal are commentary on a work of fiction. They describe invented things and make no claim about anything historical, scientific, spiritual or real.
