This is a sequel to Chasing a Ghost, so it's technically still linked to the world and characters of Les Mis. However, the story focuses mostly on original characters.

Chasing a Legacy more diverse than Chasing a Ghost (in terms of race, gender, and sexuality).

Again, many of the identities and experiences in this book are #ownvoices.

CW: sexual assault, domestic violence, murder, suicide/suicidal ideation, misgendering, period-typical drug use
