The Black Pearl of Pharazion

An erotic Swords and Sorcery novel by one Cobalt Jade, available here or here.

It's porn. Quite good porn with plot, featuring plenty of IKEA Erotica but avoiding, in most cases, cliche. It's quite funny in parts, but still definitely porn.

It goes without saying that the above links are both Very, Very Not Safe For Work.
