"The image was damascened, as beaten metal. He was reading."

Laurent: Want?

Damen: If you'd prefer me to leave, I will.

It’s not a romance. It is not Romantasy.

It’s an exploration of morality and consent juxtaposing non-consensual relationships and consensual relationships between adults.

It’s a political epic in a fantasy world.

The point of view of the pinnacle of privilege to losing bodily autonomy and back to privilege.

I didn’t find the slavery or sexual abuse to be glorified or to be put in any light other than negative.

I found the political intrigue and the character development to be what kept me reading.

There’s an enemies to lovers trope buried in the political intrigue and exploration of morality.
