Beneath the Deep: The wonders of the ocean holds the greatest of mysteries.

Kratos has always done his duty as a guard of Aquila City—a thriving city of mermen—with confidence and resolve. When several royals cause fracturing within the courts, he needs to pick a side. He’s conflicted until he realizes his decision to allow his old friend, Zarek, to get away several moon cycles earlier already made the decision for him. Kratos realizes he’s a target…and he’s not the only one. Sent on a mission to pass along a missive to Zarek where he’s hiding out at a lighthouse, Kratos runs across a massive human walking along the beach searching for seashells. The man’s name is Easton Ritton. One whiff of the hulking human’s scent intrigues him. A taste of his blood confirms it. The large male is Kratos’s Adelfi Psychi, the other half of his soul. Best of all, Easton knows Zarek and about mermen. Unfortunately, the human doesn’t consider himself gay, and he dismisses their attraction. Along with that, someone has followed Kratos, putting everyone’s lives in danger. Can Kratos woo his reluctant gentle giant and keep everyone safe?
