Author’s Note

Eyes of the Unholy explores power, consent, survival, and healing within adult spaces shaped by wealth, crime, and control. While the story includes consensual intimacy, it also examines the lasting impact of coercion and exploitation, and what it means for a survivor to reclaim agency, safety, and desire. These themes are central to the characters’ emotional journeys and are handled with intention and care.
