Women are taken captive when their villages are raided: they are “given” to the warriors as “bed slaves”. A main character saves another from being implied to be raped by the leader of an army. A woman is said to have been forced into marriage and raped several times by a man. Two teenage boys (main characters) are coerced into having sex with a girl; one of the scenes is described in detail, and is not treated as sexual assault by the author.
