All male BDSM happens within an invigorating set of wide ranging themes. All of the themes are within a decidedly male-focused exploration of behaviors expressed by four famous letters, BDSM. These four letters are internationally known as meaning several things such as bondage, discipline, dominance of men by other men, sadism and masochism.

The world told him Viktor was evil—an inhuman tyrant ruling from the shadows, enslaving innocents and twisting minds. But when Jayce reaches the city, he doesn’t discover chains or screams.

He finds light. Innovation. The people who call Viktor their saviors.

And Viktor himself—cold, brilliant, unreadable. Nothing like the monster Jayce was sent to destroy.

But it was never going to be that simple.

He came to end a war.

But something else is happening now.
