Hell's Mercy

Rate this book
Wealthy, charismatic, influential, and damn near immortal, Lukan Løvensgård looks like natural Dom material, and, in fact, he has never, but never, submitted to anyone in his long life. But among all the bizarre and fantastic people roaming the far planet of Cydonia, there is one who has stolen his old, cold heart.

And her love comes at a price—complete surrender.

With her impressive presence and unusual equipment, Helenay is the hottest and trendiest professional Domme in Neu Venedig, and she hardly has the time to top for pleasure these days. But she knows what her old friend Lukan needs, something he never suspected.

Release from power.

When it comes to erotica authors, there are plenty of writers and storytellers, but there are few true artists. I am talking about authors who make of their prose a legitimate work of art, who paint literary scenes so vivid and vibrant that you can close your eyes and step into the page.

Katherine Wyvern is one of those artists, blessed with the talent of drawing scenes both textually and visually. Seriously, read her books and check out her drawings – she has talents of which I am envious!

Anyway, that is a rather long-winded introduction to Hell’s Mercy, a standalone erotic short set within her Cydonian Tales universe. The opening scenes of this are so beautiful, so full of detail and imagination, that just getting Lukan to his destination is an experience in and of itself. The Venice-inspired canals of Neu Venedig are wonderfully brought to life through Katherine’s words, and the clash of true Carnival culture with that of tawdry tourists is both amusing and sad at the same time. I could gush for hours about the “nocturnal, shapeshifting nymph emerging from the skin of an iridescent blackbird” we meet, and she is just a passing figure!

You want to talk about setting a scene? Establishing a place and culture? Orienting the reader in a character’s mind-set? This, right here, is how it is done . . . and it is beautiful. Even if you have never enjoyed one of Katherine’s tales before, by the time we arrive at Hell, you will not only understand her world, but you will appreciate it.

As for Hell, and the encounter between Lukan and Helenay, it is so powerful and exquisite, you cannot help but be drawn into the contradictory feelings and emotions of their dynamic. As Lukan tells us, “Hell was no mere human. She was divine. A goddess of pain, bondage, and release,” and that aspect of the tale spoke to me. It is rare that I find myself identifying with multiple characters in a story, but this . . . this penetrated deep into my heart and my psyche. The freedom and release that Lukan seeks through bondage and pain is so intimately familiar, but even if you have never so much as been spanked, you will come to empathize with every moment of it. The are exquisite scenes of bondage, punishment, and humiliation to be found here, but there are also delicious scenes of pleasure, and intimate scenes of aftercare.

As for Helenay, I could never imagine possessing such beauty and power, but I am so excited and intrigued by the journey she has taken and the battles she has fought for the right to her gender. She is, as we are told, “the dark and the light . . . the pain and the pleasure . . . the hard and the soft . . . the male and the female.” That just makes my heart sing. Like Lukan, “I need both,” and like Helenay, “I need to be both.” Katherine could write the world’s thickest doorstopper of a novel about Helenay, and I would still fall to my knees and beg her for more. I so deeply love and admire this woman!

So, yes, I am totally gushing here, far from professional in my review, but some books just resonate so perfectly that you need to shout your love and admiration to the world. Please, please, please, do yourself a favor and give Hell’s Mercy a read. It will cost you less than a cup of cheap coffee on your Kindle (it is completely free at Smashwords and Kobo), and you will savor it for days after.

Lukan is rich. Healthy. Powerful. He has no excuse for being depressed and no reason to cry, and no wish to do such a thing. And yet he needs to, from time to time. Luckily for him, there's someone who can give him that.
This short story is pure splendor, set in an exquisitely crafted universe and depicted with finesse, very atmospheric - and hot, hot, hot!
