Initiation: Sex Wizards, Book 1 Kindle Edition

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 which crosses a wide range of play with varying degrees of intensity. The wizards of the Crux include pansexual, polyamorous, fantasy race, nonbinary, gender non-conforming and intersex characters. Please see book preview for full CW.

This book is amazing. Sure, it’s a little silly when you try to explain to people what you’re reading- but trust me it’s worth it. The characters are fun and varied, the world focuses very heavily on healthy informed consent for spicy time, and is incredibly LGBTQIA+ friendly. I’m ready to read this book like 5 more times. I’m desperate for a sequel.You won’t be disappointed, truly. If you even got this far to consider buying this book, you’ve already wasted so much precious time you COULD’VE been reading this book.

What an amazing epic story of magic, sex, and adventure. Dom is a simple man that enjoys hunting and helps guide travelers through the mountains. He is guiding a beautiful wizard and is surprised when she offers him a recommendation letter to the magic school known as The Crux. Dom arrives at the school and is shocked to find out he has magic in his bloodline. His first few weeks are filled with lots of knowledge, budding friendships, and lots of kinky magic. When a dangerous situation calls for action Dom as well as a group of other wizards go on a quest and it is action packed. This book was so incredible! I loved the connection between the wizards and how open and honest they were. The way everyone interacted with each other was so special and safe. There are many elements of BDSM in this book and consent was stressed heavily. It really was such a beautiful representation of kink and how it can be both liberating and healing. Everyone is sleeping with everyone so we get to see many different pairings and I always appreciate and enjoy reading that. This book had the perfect balance of spice and plot and I really enjoyed the fantasy aspect of it. I would highly recommend this story if you enjoy reading books with found family, character growth, multiple partners and sharing, magic, epic fantasy adventure, lots of different kinks, and amazing connections.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe I'm saying this, but it has some great plot...
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022

I mean, I'm even shocking myself a bit here, ladies and gentleman. But... there's enough plot in this book that I feel like some of you might like it.

📚 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲: Fantasy

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Dominai is a poor hunter, who gets a mysterious invitation to The Crux. He has magic in his blood line - and not only that, but it's powerful. As he learns his new powers, he is also faced with the fact that powerful wizards are going missing in the kingdom.

🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: I'm just going to get right into it. Why beat around the bush? Let me tell you the dirty little details.

"Casting" spells basically means having sex. And your... uh...I. release creates the spell. And doing different things during your... uh sex... makes different types of spells. So you have the coitus, you get a magic sex bead for your wizard necklace, and you go about your day.

So you can see this is clearly erotica. It's also not for those of you who have (almost any) limits. The Crux is pansexual and pretty much a giant reverse harem, but even that sounds like too tame of a word because there's like 10 of them. There's men, women, beasts, and I swear on my life one time he's treated like a 🐎. I'm just giving you all of the facts here.

But here I am reading it as a joke, and I was actually super into the actual plot. I liked the characters, and thought Dom was a good person to lead the story through. I also appreciate that while the book was full of impct play and submission and roleplay, it was all written super well and responsibly. There's going to be more books that come after, but it didn't end on a cliffhanger

🔮 𝗙𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲: Medium. If you've read HP, you'll get the world enough to move forward.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 5/5 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 star LGBTQ+ Kink friendly Fantasy with Found Family trope
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
If I could give this book 6 stars, I would.
I originally put off reading this because I haven't found many single perspective 1st person POV cis-man books that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I loved seeing the author on my socials and so I finally gave in because they seemed like a cool person, the art on the cover is lovely, and the concept of sex magic is something I adore.
I am so glad I finally gave it a try.

Initiation hits all the fantasy tropes - orphaned (sorta, his mom is alive but no idea where she is) MC, given a letter sending him to magic school, there's fun and games and the world is explained to him (and the reader), there's an external antagonist shaking things up in this world and MC is necessary to fix things.
What makes it so unique is the inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters (including MC), plenty of POC rep, and lots and lots of kinky BDSM and sex.

I had my worries, of course. Reading that its a sex-based magic system and taught at a school, I expected a lot of teacher/student trope but thankfully that isn't really the case here. Its more a mentorship and even the headmaster's involvement with the students is handled in a way that doesn't feel weird and like abuse from an authority figure.

The main character, Dom, has his won emotional arc that I related to so much in my own life and journey where he doesn't feel worthy of the good things that come his way. He's a people-pleaser and what some might view as humble is more self-deprecating because he doesn't see his own worth. It hit close to home in a lot of ways.
It was also interesting to see the character plot point of watching Dom deal with his prejudice against Orcs - a hot button topic in the TTRPG scene I am in and hadn't seen dealt with in reading. This and other comments about fantasy tropes popping up (goblin raids, elf and teifling like races, etc) felt like I was watching the yummiest of TTRPG campaigns.

Its a unique and delicious read and I am OBSESSED with this world that Faust has created.

Be sure to read the trigger/content warnings as this book does include SA and rape as part of the plot. Chapters have individual content warnings which I loved because even knowing some of the triggers going in, it is a good reminder to check in with yourself. Much like a BDSM scene, the author is checking in with the reader, allowing us to consciously give the green light for each step of the journey.

This book is so hot and sweet and I can't wait to read more.

Okay, this whole world and the magic system is absolutely fascinating. The world building was well done and I really really dig the crazy k!nk based magic system.

This was very poly friendly and followed our MMC on his journey to find a better life for himself. I really enjoyed it and if you love a good story alongside your smut this is definitely the book for you!

As a sexual assault victim I’ve read the first chapter of this book so far and the consistent consent requirement and genuine concern for mental and physical health in this book is very reassuring. I’ve been using this book to reacquaint myself with healthy sexual consent standards and general sexual etiquette. If you are a sexual assault victim I genuinely recommend this book, it has helped me build a positive safe relationship with sex and I can’t wait to finish it and purchase volume 2

Wow what a ride! I read this book because “Sex Wizards” sounded hilarious. I was not expecting to be so enthralled by the story and impressed by the detail and care taken when exploring kink.

The way the author uses sex as a way to explore relationship dynamics and the story is fascinating and titillating at the same time.

All around very enjoyable read!
