Why Flame

One or a few on-page scenes, limited detail.

A few sex scenes happen on the page, written more for heat than for detail.

Why 16+

16+ from us; Common Sense Media says 16+.

Sex scenes are present but less graphic than later books, while the torture scenes are detailed, so we suggest 16+.
