Triton

Livia Horn was a humble shepherd from a small village.

She lost her family and home to the villagers’ selfishness and fell off a cliff. As she lay dying, she was saved by Echidna, the black witch in the form of a manta ray.

‘It’s an exchange for revenge. If you plunge the golden dagger into Triton’s heart, not only will I save your life, but I’ll also give you all my remaining power.’

Livia, a penniless girl, a pitiful human with nothing left, a woman who had lost everything she loved, blinded by revenge, rashly made a pact with the black witch.

The great god of water.

The legitimate son of Poseidon and a child of the gods.

The guardian and ruler of the sea, Triton.

He watched over the human woman wielding the black witch Echidna’s dagger.

A fearless girl challenging a god.

A woman who resurrected in a miserable state every time.

No matter how many times he killed her, Livia Horn kept coming back to him.

Her audacious gaze intrigued him, and her desperate struggles stirred him.

‘Remember, it’s always humans who kill mermaids.’

The forbidden words scratched at his ears, but he didn’t care.

Isn’t it the nature of gods to be indulgent, unruly, and capricious?

The arrogant sea god decided to willingly devour this sweet and fiery human woman, even if it meant swallowing the dagger himself.
