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, budding relationships between kind, emotionally mature adults, and a lot of butt stuff.
Initiation is a full-length fantasy, the first in the epic Sex Wizards series

Magic is a rare gift, one only made possible by an invaluable stone: magiline. After he was tasked with his first official assignment, Dominai and his fellow wizards must now travel to the Crux’s sister tower in Immenbach to deliver a shipment of it.
But the road is full of trials and dangers, and not just because Thaddius’ bullying has escalated into something worse. Dominai is having strange dreams, hearing a mysterious voice that passes on a dire warning. A shadow lays over the Eastern Tower, and it will be up to Dominai and his fellow wizards to shed light on the situation and escape to tell the tale.
Left behind at the Crux, Olbric is facing his own battles. His father has threatened to disown him for being who he is. Fearing for his mother and sister’s safety, Olbric must work with Arlon to create a spell that can get them to safety if the worst happens. Yet confidential and personal information about Olbric continues to leak out of the Crux and into the Cairish ambassador’s ear. And Ambassador Feisal seems willing to stop at nothing to force Olbric home.
A storm is building, one that has the potential to destroy the balance of peace across the entire continent.
The Wolf became a wizard.
The wizard became Grandmaster.
Long before Arlon Kalisson was Grandmaster of the Crux, he was a member of Vian’s Wolves, the most vicious pack of bandits in the Hobokin Mountains. After serving his sentence to the Crown under Grandmaster Fawn, Arlon is released into the Crux as a free man and new magical adept.
But adjusting to his new life feels impossible. Burdened by the memories of Vian Wolf, Arlon struggles to find his place among the nobles and highborns of the Crux. Yet even after meeting Garrett and Bridgette, two fellow non-bloodline wizards, the shadows of Vian’s crimes threaten to ruin their friendship before it can even begin.
Magic is a rare gift, and Arlon must heal the wounds left by his former mentor to embrace the spark that exists in him.
Misfit is a novella set in the Sex Wizards universe about Arlon’s first months as a wizard of the Crux. Though it can be read as a standalone, it is best enjoyed after reading Starshine.
A girl sold to pay her father’s debt.
After the results of an honor duel, Garret leaves his clan to escape his guilt only to face the cruelty of humans in the mountain city of Frostcliff. He finds unexpected employment as security for the city’s high-end brothel, and the even more unexpected company of Bridgette, the brothel’s resident star.
Magic is a rare gift that only exists in the bloodlines of the rich and royal, and yet the unlikely pair find the spark between them even as the humans of Frostcliff attempt to snuff it out.
Starshine is a novella set in the Sex Wizards universe. It follows the story of Bridgette and Garret before they discovered their magic and came to the Crux. It can be read standalone but is best enjoyed after book two of the Sex Wizards series.
Magic is a rare gift, and it's been six months since Dominai of Airedale first left home to study it. After solidifying his place at the legendary Crux as a skilled conduit, he now faces his next challenge: casting. When every spell he attempts fails to hit the mark, he finally turns to the Grandmaster of the Crux, Arlon Kalisson, for guidance.
The unyielding lessons that follow strip Dom down to his very foundation, rebuilding him to confront his own worst enemy: himself. But while Dom grows more confident inside the Crux, a threat gathers outside of it. One that will rock the kingdom of Straetham to its core, capable of destroying the Crux from the inside out.
The second book of Alethea Faust’s epic Sex Wizards series, Mastery delivers risk-aware consensual kink, hard BDSM, an ever-escalating epic plot, and a lot of butt stuff.
Magic is a rare gift, and with two masteries on his sleeve, Dominai finally feels like he’s getting a grasp of it. With his confidence in his own abilities increasing every day, Dom feels ready to tackle his first official assignment. If Arlon would ever give him one, that is.
But the Grandmaster is keeping his wizards close at hand, and not just because rumors about Olbric’s personal life have started leaking out of the Crux’s walls and into the new Cairish ambassador’s ears. Fear and mistrust of magic and the people who create it has started to circulate through Straetham, adding to the tension that already lays thick over the city in the aftermath of the attack on the town square.
Yet Olbric and Dom have an idea that might help restore the common people’s confidence in the Crux: a tournament. A display of magic and skill to show the people of Straetham who is working to safeguard the kingdom from the threat of Diran Barclay and his rogue wizards.
And when Dominai offers himself up as the prize to the winner, the game is on.
The third book of Alethea Faust’s epic Sex Wizards series.
Magic is a rare gift, and Dominai is losing control of his. He was always told that magic wants to obey, but between the waking dreams and alarming visions, Dom’s magic is going rogue. When Dom’s wayward power lashes out against Olbric, he’s forced to confront what these visions are trying to tell him: He needs to return to Airedale and find his mother.
But in the fallout of the events at the Eastern Tower, Dom and Olbric learn that leaving the Crux won't be so easy. The Royal Guard is watching wizards closely, and while the two plan a grand escape from under the Guard’s nose, Grandmaster Arlon and his newly appointed apprentice, Galiva, are chafing under the strain of the Crown’s expectations.
When the mantle of Grandmaster suddenly falls on Galiva’s shoulders, her loyalties to her friends are pitted against the Crown’s interests. Galiva struggles to navigate the demands of the position, keep her friends safe, and repair the trust between the Crux and the people of Straetham.
To avoid a war with Immenbach, Dom, Olbric, and Galiva will all have to decide what lengths they will go to, and what they are willing to sacrifice to keep the Crux—and each other—safe.
Call girls are meant to fuck the client then go home, not fuck them up, but I never minded getting my hands just a little dirty.
Homeless teen turned prostitute turned elite call girl with some… unusual extracurricular activities was not what I’d set out to become, but survivors can’t be choosers. Now, I’ve got a life for myself, and I even like it most of the time, but a favor owed to my boss/ex-lover is about to mess all of that up.
Her husband’s become a problem, and when the team of men she’s hired can’t seal the deal, I’m brought in for some assistance. What a fucking mess. Especially since the team consists of my favorite client, his brother, my roommate, and my roommate’s boyfriend.
When the shitstorm of my present starts to collide a bit too much with my past, I’ve got to hope my skills are sharp enough to keep me in one piece.
There’s an unexpected danger that’s found me once again, but lucky for me, I’ve always thrived in the darkness.
Queen of Hearts book 1.
Bloody decadence...
The definition of marriage: Two people and their silver-haired vampire.
In 1924, Paris is a bastion of sexual freedom, even for shell-shocked Leon Laflamme, the most dramatic blond this side of the Seine. After years of loneliness and secrecy, he's married the clever and sumptuous burlesque dancer Claire. However, Leon truly finds liberation when he meets the stoic, intriguing, and silver-haired Count Matthias, who offers true freedom in his dark gift: immortality.
To the unassuming observer, Ben Lockwood is your typical, suburban dad. Aside from the fact that he’s only thirty-six and his daughter is a sophomore in college. He and his wife, Jessica, had their only daughter, Hailey, when they were in high school. So you can imagine the unease Ben is feeling when said daughter brings her new boyfriend home for Thanksgiving… To stay, in their house, for the whole weekend.
Ryan Harper, otherwise known as The Boyfriend, is every dread Ben’s ever had in his daughter dating come to fruition. There’s nothing wrong with Ryan. He’s polite, smart, and charming… He doesn’t have any neck tattoos or facial piercings, and he drives a BMW. But still, he’s dating Ben’s daughter. That makes him a threat.
It’s in Ben’s best interest to keep an eye on the kid. You know, to make sure there’s no funny business going on under his roof. Unfortunately for him, the tension in the house is less about Ryan being his daughter’s boyfriend, and more about him being a strangely intriguing human. And soon enough, Ben can’t tell if he’s watching Ryan to protect his daughter’s innocence, or obliterate his own.
It seems like the boring married-guy image isn’t going to hold up for long… Not after this bizarre, life-changing weekend. What are these new, strange feelings and desires? Where did they come from? And why do they have to center around what belongs to his daughter?
Ben and Ryan’s situation couldn’t get much more complicated… Until Jessica steps into the mix. An unexpected push is all it took for their lives to change forever.
What happens next?
I’ll tell you… You finally begin to live again.
You take trips, celebrate anniversaries, and attend your first Pride parade as an out-and-proud polyamorous throuple, apparently.
Life isn’t perfect for you now that you’ve had a brand new happily ever after. In fact, far from it. But you make it work. You find your way through the jealousy and the unrest of people who don’t understand your quirky little family.
And most importantly, you love. You love so hard there’s no possible way only one partner could handle it all.
It’s a damn blessing I found two.
I thought I’d feel broken after what happened.
Turns out killing the man who hurt me changed that.
When I’m back at school for my last few weeks of college, I find normalcy for the first time in months. Despite getting comfortable, I can’t give Rook and Oliver the answer they so clearly want, even if it’s not the one they want to hear.
They have to understand it’s not that easy.
Don’t they?
But following them across the country brings more than just new house problems and adjusting to their lifestyle. Issues from not so long ago come to light, and I realize I’m not as normal as I’d hoped to be, after killing my professor for what he did to me.
With a new ‘friend’ who offers me the help I need and Rook keeping secrets that prove he doesn’t trust me, it’s hard to rely on anyone for answers. Especially when old urges creep up my spine and I start looking for reasons to hurt someone for what I’ve seen him do.
When I’m no longer able to attribute my urges to an external predator, I’m forced to confront a terrifying possibility.
Maybe I’ve always been more like them than I thought

A town left cursed, a brotherhood of villains formed, and a devil’s watchful gaze upon their every move. Now that The Halloween Boys have found their mate, forces beyond their control threaten to tear apart what they’ve each worked so hard to build. A wolf in sheep's clothing, a devil in disguise. But as the air turns crisp, ushering in a fall breeze, one thing is clear:
Halloween has come to Ash Grove again at last.
Blythe is thrust into hell and confronted head on with the mysteries of who she is and what she wants. The guys must battle the underworld of lore and the hell of their own making in their quest to retrieve her.
All the while the one who you forgot, the one who slips your mind, the one who has never stopped watching and waiting so patiently… The Devil himself has come to collect and make good on every bargain and riddle he’s woven through books and years. And he’s not changing his mind. There are debts to be paid and mysteries ready to be solved.
Yes, my friends, Halloween has come to Ash Grove again, the pumpkins are lit, and Hallows Fest begins anew.
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?
Continue the journey with the international bestselling series The Halloween Boys. Wolf is a little red riding hood reimagining packed with occult legend, lore, and spice.
WOLF
My sights set on her the moment she drove into town.
From the moment her darling aroma invaded my senses, Blythe was mine. I’d watched her silently, I’d allowed Ghost his time, I’d supported Onyx through his turmoil. All the while the sleeping alpha raged inside me, wanting to make her his in every way. But how could I let him out when he was so at odds with her sweet, gentle giant, Wolfgang Jack?
My alpha was wild, untamed, and so… so hungry.
When my community is in shambles and Fenrir pack needs me to rise up to the challenge, can I do that while reconciling the beast within?
Little Red Riding Hood is walking through my forest now.
And she won’t escape me this time.
Blythe
Running, always running.
Afraid of the darkness that haunts me, fleeing my past, always at the mercy of whatever grabs me in the night. The Halloween Boys had given me safety, security, and more love and passion than I’d ever imagined.
But now Wolf needs me and it’s time to learn how to be his luna. The women of Fenrir lead their pack with strength and grace. They don’t cower, they hunt.
If I run now, it’ll be because I want to. If I run now, it’ll be because I want to be caught.
And now I’m ready for his claws and teeth.
Onyx
I knew that my first betrayal should be swift and long-earned.
Ghost underestimated me. Judas likely didn't think of me at all. Wolf pitied me. To them, I was a peculiar jokester, a shameless flirt, and a restless musician. Brothers and lovers often trivialized the gifts of their counterparts.
Oh, he'd never do that to me. He's a good guy.
Always wrong.
I'd been biding my time. My initial foray back into the world of monsters, released from my small-town prison cell, would have to be big. They'd have to never see it coming for it to work. And they didn't.
Then there was Blythe. This darling little creature of death that came sulking into a diner with no money and only fear so strong it took my breath away.
I couldn't ignore her, I couldn't get her out of my head . . . and I couldn't forget that she was mine.
Blythe
I was running again.
Except for this time instead of running from my past, I was running from home, running from myself. Maybe I'd find something on this journey that would help me know what to do. The Story Keeper's ship had a navigator . . . I found myself wishing I had one, too.
It didn't help my confusion that something about Onyx was screaming at me for attention. I was attracted to him, it would be impossible not to be. There were witches claiming we were all mated, The Halloween Boys and me. I couldn't help the pull of Onyx's emerald stare, or the way my heart beat faster just wondering what he'd say next.
Onyx Hart was sharp and charming . . . though there was something else. There was something else under his so carefully crafted surface that I'd yet to uncover. And I really wanted to uncover it.
But how could I slay part vampire and part dragon without getting bitten and burnt to a crisp?
Ash Grove is a fine place to die.
Ames
I wanted to shake her and scream, "You don't have to be afraid anymore, you have me."
And then chain her to my bed and yell, "You should be very afraid now that you have me."
I inhabited a form that was what every legend and dark tale warned little girls like her about.
I'd slaughtered a thousand times over and I'd do so a thousand more.
But the worst thing I'd ever do... would be what I did to her.
Blythe
If kept running, I wouldn't break. If I kept hiding, I wouldn't cry.
If I kept moving he wouldn't find me.
Running from an impossible evil landed me between the claws of something ancient and horrifying. I went to the masquerade as a fox. How ironic, because I didn't feel clever, sly or brave. I was a wounded rabbit waiting for teeth.
And more than one set of fangs found me.
The worst part of all?
I liked it.

“He is my gift to you, this Yule’s Eve. Shall you accept him from me?”
In a world of orcs and powerful men, Lydia is a shy, widowed washerwoman, forgotten and alone — until the day the orc drops in, with a full sack of laundry on his back.
He’s tall, rangy, and utterly confounding, with his silver hair, his deep jolly laugh, and his twinkling, coal-black eyes. And when he offers to bring Lydia great joy, it’s a gift that just keeps giving, drawing her ever deeper into his wicked, wondrous charms…
At least, until he invites her to spend Yule at his cozy, candlelit cabin. And when Lydia arrives, he offers her a brand-new gift, wrapped in a pretty red bow…
Another orc.
A stranger.
For her… merriment.
And he’s the biggest, most terrifying monster she’s ever seen in her life.
Will Lydia refuse her hideous gift, and run alone into the cold winter’s night? Or can she find joy with a monster… or maybe even a home?
One man wants to possess her.
The other is literally possessed.

I thought I’d feel broken after what happened.
Turns out killing the man who hurt me changed that.
When I’m back at school for my last few weeks of college, I find normalcy for the first time in months. Despite getting comfortable, I can’t give Rook and Oliver the answer they so clearly want, even if it’s not the one they want to hear.
They have to understand it’s not that easy.
Don’t they?
But following them across the country brings more than just new house problems and adjusting to their lifestyle. Issues from not so long ago come to light, and I realize I’m not as normal as I’d hoped to be, after killing my professor for what he did to me.
With a new ‘friend’ who offers me the help I need and Rook keeping secrets that prove he doesn’t trust me, it’s hard to rely on anyone for answers. Especially when old urges creep up my spine and I start looking for reasons to hurt someone for what I’ve seen him do.
When I’m no longer able to attribute my urges to an external predator, I’m forced to confront a terrifying possibility.
Maybe I’ve always been more like them than I thought
Pretty Little Monster is the third and final book in the pretty obsessions trilogy. It includes MMF, MFM, MM, and mature, murderous content.
He’ll do anything for his wounded warrior… even wooing him a widow.
In a world of orcs and men, Lady Scall is a widow besieged — by her debts, her demons, and her dangerous lord Neighbour. But time is running out, and she’s about to lose everything…
Until the night an orc shows up in her chambers.
Killik is a cold, cruel, condescending spy, and he wants nothing to do with Lady Scall… for himself.
But he’s decided she’s the perfect woman for his clanmate. For Ulfarr, the Wolf of Clan Skai.
And Ulfarr isn’t just any orc. He’s a huge, broken, brutal monster with a dark, deadly past…
And Killik wants Lady Scall to help Ulfarr.
To heal Ulfarr.
To handle Ulfarr however she pleases…
In return, Killik will solve all her problems — and he’ll teach her how to tend and tame an orc. And maybe, if she behaves, he’ll fulfill all her own deepest longings, too…
But even a desperate, lonely widow shouldn’t risk such a scandalous affair, right? Especially when Ulfarr’s secrets are darker than she ever imagined, and Killik far more jealous than she knew…
And a deal with two devils might draw more doom to her door… and her heart.
