About this listen

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 adult fantasy, the first in the epic Sex Wizards series set in a sex-positive, magical world. This novel has a kink-based magic system that crosses a wide range of play with varying degrees of intensity. The wizards of the Crux include pansexual, polyamorous, fantasy race, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and intersex characters. Please see book preview for full CW.

This was the book for me

As a person who has never been able to fully understand kink this book not only explained it VERY WELL! This book built a fantastic world, fantastic magic system and still had all the steam/spice/eroticism and the best damn plot I have ever read. This book was awesome! I will be buying book two!

AMAZING!!!!

I never write reviews but this was hot and incredibly well written. The author has done an amazing job making the sex integral to the story. Usually spicy scenes are kind of just extra information but this was like, skipping through these scenes means you've missed important things. The plot was fun to follow. It ended kind of abruptly. Not exactly a cliffhanger feeling but kind of like being pulled along by a leash and then suddenly your leash is dropped and you're kissed on the cheek before the leader walks away. You have almost no choice but to follow and that was me, scrambling to buy the next book.

WWDAOD! (What will Dom and Oberic do?)This was an amazing read and a fabulous story!

So at first I will admit I struggled with reading this story as to me it seemed like a roller coaster with sky highs and massive drops that left me feeling meh. However, I swore to myself I’d give it a second chance and so I read it and then listened to the audiobook and I have to say I ended up completely in love with the story. 10/10 one of my best reads this year!

Very impressed!

I enjoyed the audio even more than just reading the book, which is pretty unusual for me. Can’t wait for the rest of the series in both ebook and audiobook formats!

ADDICTED!!!

I haven't read a book this good in so long! I'm absolutely obsessed with the series!!!! On book 2 now!
This is the perfect kinky spicy book. They create magic with sex, and essentially everyone is pan. There is a lot of gay sex but oh my it's amazing. The kink in this book is always built on the foundation of consent which I adore!!! This series is actually helping me discover what I can improve on too in my life to empower myself.

So fun!

After finding out he has magic in his blood, hunter and forest guide Dominai arrives at the Crux, the center for magical study in his kingdom. As readers, we follow Dominai as he learns about the different schools of casting spells, pushing his body and mind to its limits, reaching heights of pleasure and pain that he never imagined.

When I heard this book has a kink-based magic system, I had to check it out immediately. I figured I’d be in for some steamy entertainment, but I wasn’t expecting the story to be so engaging and well-written. I loved open-minded, sweet, and determined Dominai, and the side characters were all interesting as well. There are a lot of steamy scenes between Dom and various genders of wizards at the Crux, mostly in the context of casting spells, but some with a special man he’s particularly attracted to. There’s a burgeoning romance there. The wizards all seem to be M-spec, which makes for a lot of fun times. Really fun read and looking forward to book 2!

Edit after reread/audiobook listen: when I saw the audiobook was narrated by Blake Lockheart, I had to listen to it! He’s a great narrator and it was fun to revisit Dom and the other wizards of the Crux—Galliva, Olbric, Arlen, Garrett and more.
