Curious if anyone would be drawn to an unconventional autobiography—a journey where trauma transforms into art?

Love & Sorcery: My unconventional Autobiography: Naughty Version.

In this tale, I take you deep into a mystical realm where landscapes mirror our own world, fractured and reimagined. Through dark romance and a tapestry of mythical creatures, I share the blueprint of how I survived my ordeals that should have killed me, threading in elements from my developmental studies. This isn’t just my story but a reflection for anyone who’s wrestled with pain or felt helpless in the grip of darkness.

Within its pages, you'll find the delicate balance of pleasure and pain—like a double-edged sword that cuts deep yet reveals hidden truths. Women’s most erotic fantasies intertwine with raw narratives of trauma, offering connection and catharsis for those who need to feel seen and understood.

Within these pages, you’ll find the unspoken truths—the raw, haunting experiences my friends faced as survivors of sexual assault, each story echoing pain from across the globe. This isn’t just a tale of trauma; it’s a collection of voices silenced by fear, betrayal, and a society that shields the guilty while isolating the brave.

For too long, those who suffered were hushed by onlookers, cast aside while their attackers wore masks of virtue. This book is a space to break that silence, to unveil the darkness behind the facade, and to finally give these stories the voice they were denied.

Writing this was a way of relieving the burden of carrying their trauma, allowing the truth to breathe and releasing the weight that has lived within me for so long. If you’ve ever felt unseen or unheard, or if you need to know you’re not alone in the battle for justice and healing, I invite you to witness these stories with me.

Picture an academy with the intrigue of Hogwarts, a land embroiled in war like Lord of the Rings. A love circle similar to Vampire Diaries, and magical creatures with the wisdom of Narnia.

'(^x^My favorite three book series as a kid.^x^)'
& one of the best video series I came across.

This world breathes with rich cultures, unique fashions, and spiritual paths that echo familiar yet distant parts of ourselves. It’s a twist of fate, a dark fantasy that invites readers to explore the beautiful and brutal dance between survival and passion, resilience and release. Curious?

i’ve read a couple of the series you mentioned and have now just finished the Chesnut Springs series by Elsie Silver. Really good! similar to icebreaker! 🤍

I couldn’t put down this one!!

If you would like spice but also slowburn and a good plot, check out The Realm: Mirage (apparently the first part of a series) The Realm: Mirage
It is longish, but really good, even has a little fantasy twist.

If you’re not too keen on a romance focused fantasy series, the Dresden files is amazing! Storm Front

You could read : Forth Wings Series, if you didn’t :)

Hi everyone! I'm looking for books on the theme dragon riders. Thanks :)

I'm participating in a challenge that requires me to ask for a recommendation based on my review of the book i just read. I finished The Perfect Front Man by Christie Gordon. I gave it 5 stars. I don't have much to say other than its one type of book i like to read; short, cute, sexy.

What should i read next?
