very close to erotica in nature, if it's not categorized as such overall, so spice is pretty high. its a dark fantasy, not quite a dark romance or a romantasy just as a heads up.

there's a lot of graphic sex scenes & the author includes types of kink in the beginning of the book. these include dubious consent & blood play. I highly recommend you download the ebook sample before purchase for the full authors note!
