There is also a scene of sexual assault in one paragraph, and the description is brief. In relation to sexual content, there are various kinks and fetishes in a fantasy setting, including CNC (consensual non-consent), dominance and submission, sadomasochism, erotic degradation and humiliation, primal play, choking, gagging, rope bondage, spanking and other impact play, blood play, needle play, foot fetishization, monstrous anatomy, and raw/unprotected sex.

Please note:  The content warnings listed above don’t cover all content included in the book. 


CONTENT WARNING

This book would be rated a 3.5 (Between 3 - Medium and 4 - Hot) on our OwlCrate Spice Meter.

There are 1-2 major sex scenes that are realistically described and lengthier. The other scenes are brief and fade-to-black scenes, but they are throughout the book. BDSM elements and frequency may kick the rating up to a 4, but the length and description of the scenes should make the rating more of a 3.5.
