"The Bounds of Reason": a king admits to raping and then marrying a woman to take control of her kingdom. A woman's clothes are ripped open, and a soldier threatens to rape her while groping her. Another character stares at her despite her request for him to stop. A mentally handicapped character is said to be the product of his mother being gang raped by soldiers. "A Shard of Ice": the main character sees a tavern keeper groping a 12-year-old. His only reaction is annoyance. (It has been established in another book that he doesn't intervene in such situations, even if he find them abhorrent.) "Eternal Fire": a character restrains a woman during a fight scene and does so by deliberately putting his hands on her chest. "Sword of Destiny" : a man is held captive by dryads so that he can be used for the purposes of inducing pregnancies. While he seems happy with (or at least okay with) the situation, it is still a choice where he either does this or is executed. Some humans also threaten to rape said dryads after burning their forest. Mention is made of the potential for incest among royal heirs. "Something More": a character is afraid that the protagonist wants to rape his wife (though this worry is unfounded). A sorceress is mentioned to have enchanted a man with the intention of having sex with him, though this never ends up happening. The stories are set in a medieval-style fantasy universe where sexism and sexual violence are common; passing mention of such topics are present throughout the book.
