It does happen, but the actual event isn’t described in graphic detail. The aftermath, however is very upsetting

The word “rape” is never used, but there are three separate instances of rape.
In the first, a woman is coerced into sex by a man with authority over her. She technically “agreed” to it, but only because she was intimidated.
The second instance is much more vague. Blink, and you’ll miss it, but it is still there. In this instance, a woman is raped by a supernatural creature.
The third instance is probably the most detailed and most egregious. In this instance, a male character is raped by an older female. The rape isn’t onscreen, but the lead up and the after affects are all described in detail. It’s described that he was held at knifepoint and that his clothes were cut off of his body. He describes feeling unsafe in his own room, and uncomfortable being naked (again, in his own room). He tries to avoid his rapist, but she stalks him. At one point she has six servant girls drag him to the room and undress him. The worst part about it has to be that when he finally worked up the courage tell the girl he was traveling with, she laughed in his face.
>>>Edit: there was a fourth instance that I kind of forgot about. Two women sleep with a man after he’s undergone a severe trauma, but he was likely not completely aware of what was happening

It was more of a problem in the last book, but the character who was tortured in book 6 had flashbacks about it and develops claustrophobia because of it <this was supposed to be under torture there is some moderate gore>

Yes and no. A man is in love with three women, and he’s already slept with two of them. They have an arrangement where they may become “sister-wives” in the future
