About this audiobook

Kirkus Verdict: "Get It" An Author Shout Top Pick, 2025 Second Place: Literary Fiction; Second Place: Visionary Fiction; Best Unconventional Love Story - The Firebird Book Awards, 2025 She had it all - riches, a college scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career. Three years later, she met a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He'd been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she was starting her whole life over. What ensued between the two was magic. Given that he was about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that was only to be expected. But at what cost? The mysterious older man was all she could ever have wished for, but she might need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she had ever known. * "Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I've read in recent years... Loved it!" - Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery "A singular tale, braided with blood, mystery, and intellect, that dares to fuse the sacred and the profane" - The Prairies Book Review "Love is brutal, bloody, and ecstatic in this passionate romance... BDSM afficionados will love it... A richly imagined, lurid love story that's not for the faint of heart." - Kirkus Reviews “The author writes elegantly about BDSM romance and deftly explores the inner worlds of the characters as well as their psyches...Drake’s beautiful prose and dense symbolism will challenge you to think about profound questions about the body, mind, and spirit, particularly in the context of queerness and ritual mysticism.” - Meg McKinnon for The Book Commentary This is a deluxe edition of the original novel. It contains art and supplemental material. It has also been subject to some revision.
