If you're down with intense sex scenes and complex, deadly politics, Kushiel's Dart is a great read that meets all your criteria. I only recommend Kushiel's Dart to people who like complexity, grey morality, and power politics like in Game of Thrones or Dune. There is also a lot of politicking in the context of the deadly decadent court. Like LotR and GoT, each book in Kushiel's Legacy is an 800-page behemoth that lends itself to an epic, lush, complex story. It is high fantasy (think Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones), so any reader will need to be interested in an alternate, medieval world that is not like our own. 😆) If you're excited to dive into kinky fiction, though, I recommend Kushiel's Dart 10,000% more than Fifty Shades of Grey! (Phèdre is my favorite character of all time, but her preferences are more intense than mine. While the story is very kink-positive, the sex scenes can be challenging.

The world is extremely sex positive and there is a huge focus on important, healthy elements of BDSM, including affirmative consent, safe words, and aftercare. The main heroine, Phèdre, is a courtesan and a masochist/submissive who conducts international espionage through sexy assignations. Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey is about a heroic seductress courtesan saving queen and country from an absolutely fantastic villainess.
