    MEZZANOTTE TRYST

    “DIVINO PROTECTOR MARIS, FATI CARNIFEX.”
    “The divine protector of the sea, the butcher of fate."

    Caro, sanguis, mens; Flesh, blood, and mind. The makings of human life, the ingredients of a soul.

    Gyro lived by these rules, respecting each facet of human existence. These words, ancient as they may be, remained of utmost importance in all areas of his life; his father made sure of that.

    Those three simple words occupied every waking moment of his thoughts; they had to. Medicine; life, and execution; death. Holding respect for the aspects of human creation meant being able to heal one or take away another; two sides of a very unsteady coin.

    Gyro Zeppeli, an executioner-in-training and the eldest son of the most noble doctor family in the kingdom of Naples isn't a stranger to death.

    When his relationship with a particular merman blossoms into more than enemies, he must hide it from the church, the king, and his father, all while continuing to train the prestigious spin technique. But will fate allow it?
