Magic is a rare gift that only exists in the bloodlines of the rich, the royal, and the reputable. Dominai of Airedale, a poor hunter and forest guide, is barely one of those things. But after a moonlit encounter with the wizard Allisande, Dominai's life is changed forever. She reveals that Dominai has magic in his lineage and provides him with a letter of introduction to the Crux, the center of magical study in the Kingdom of Straetham.

Magical study is a far cry from the dusty tomes and rituals Dom was expecting. Instead, it is sex and desire, submission and surrender, loyalty and love, and, above all, trust. But when the trust of the Crux is betrayed, Dom must face his own insecurities and the unknown to protect his new home and his fellow wizards.

Alethea Faust's debut novel delivers risk-aware consensual kink, hard BDSM, fun times with kind and emotionally mature adults, and a lot of butt stuff.

Initiation is a full-length fantasy, the first in the epic Sex Wizards series set in a sex-positive, magical world. The wizards of the Crux include pansexual, polyamorous, fantasy race, nonbinary, and intersex characters. Though themes of rape and non-consent arise, this story will never show any non-consensual acts in detail. Chapters that discuss such things have been marked with a warning.
