About Zercy
Emergency landing. Uncharted planet. Erotic captivity of epic proportions. Right when Captain Alec Hamlin thinks it can’t get any crazier, his team is sold to their captors’ mighty sovereign. King Zercy of the Kríe. Ruler of the planet’s most formidable species. Man, is he imposing. So regal and larger than life. And way too savagely handsome for Alec’s liking. From the first moment he laid eyes on him, he knew the Kríe was trouble, knew he needed to steer clear of him at all costs. But when Zercy chooses Alec to be his personal pet, all plans to dodge the male fall by the wayside. Alec is forced to spend each evening in the alluring king’s company, each night bound to the seductive king’s bed. Wholly at his mercy. Utterly defenseless, in his own mind and most especially his restless body. His struggle is real. Because the more Alec gets to know Zercy, the more he realizes two things. The Kríe king is damaged—unstable, not right, making him unpredictable and highly dangerous. But he is also innately kind beneath the raging storm that torments him. Kind and genuine, with a sad but beautiful soul. Something Alec fights with all he is, not to acknowledge. He can’t fall for Zercy. Zercy is the enemy. The captor of both Alec and his team. Which means Alec needs to get them out of there, before it’s too late. Before emotions overthrow logic and take control of the wheel. If only his body didn’t crave Zercy so fiercely, and his heart didn’t want him just as badly.
With Search and Rescue due any day, and Alec’s team getting antsy, Alec is forced to make a decision. He can’t have it both ways. Is he the captain of his men, bound to obligation, or is he a man in love with a Kríe?
Warning: Contains explicitly scorching gay sex with exotic and shamelessly kinky males of otherworldly descent.
5 HEART READ
REVIEW:
Kora Knight’s stories literally never disappoint and Zercy is no exception.
The Queen of Edge has done it again in her latest installment in her The Nira Chronicles series.
Book two, Zercy, follows on from Kríe Captivity. To fully immerse yourself in the Nira experience I highly suggest you read book one first.
Zercy the Kríe King is enamored with the human, Alec - who was sold to the King after the human craft crashed on the alien planet. Alec also feels something for the Kríe King but can’t (or won’t) acknowledge the pull between them.
This love story is completely enriching and deeply felt with Knight providing her unique style of keeping the reader gasping for more while eventually delivering the most satisfying journey to be had via a Kindle.
I am not a keen reader of fantasy-romance, but Kora makes the sci-fi components simple to follow and skillfully uses them to enhance the reader’s experience by creating depth of character and a world filled with vibrancy, which just wouldn’t be possible without the fantasy elements.
Even without the scorching hot sex scenes, build up of angst and deeply felt love, Zercy is a tense tale of suspense, drama and humor. Alec is torn between the feelings that are building for the Kríe King and his loyalty to his team. He is their captain and feels responsible for their wellbeing - but what will he do if their desires differ from his own?
Kora is a master of tension and the voyage she takes the reader on is satisfying and deep.
I find it exceedingly rare to be able to clearly define more than 10 unique characters in a story by the way they look and their personalities, but Kora makes the individuals she creates so vibrant that I, the reader, feel I know every personality and can imagine further adventures for each.
The Nira Chronicles is a rare gift and one you simply cannot miss out on!
Kora Knight’s stories are highly sexual and mouth-wateringly decadent. Zercy is another course in her scrumptious banquet and I am already hungry for more!

Meet the Author
Born and raised in the Northern Virginia, I've always loved to read, but it wasn't until my preteen years that I discovered my deep-seated love for writing. Though, with published literary teachers and play writers in the family tree, that really shouldn't have come as a surprise.
Starting with my involvement in social book forums, I then tried my hand in literary role playing. Which, in turn, led to my becoming a fervent online independent writer. Since then, I've endeavored to share with the world my impassioned stories of love, adventure and sensual wonderment, my most recent delight being that of m/m erotica.
