Where the Sky Meets the Sea by Kit Barrie
Sometimes the truth changes everything.
Sky Diver First-Class Eron Marcel makes his living hunting whalls, giant sea creatures valued for their oil and hide. But when a hunt goes disastrously wrong, Eron is saved by a creature he did not know even existed: half-human and half-fish. Working with his rescuer, a young mer named Ket, Eron learns that the mer rely on the whalls for protection from the sea’s dangers, and both species are facing potential extinction.
But conservation means nothing compared to profit to the rich oil barons. The mer and their relationship with the whalls might be the key to gaining even more power over the sea and its spoils, and Ket is the perfect bargaining chip. Eron is faced with the decision of what is more important: saving the mer, or saving Ket?
Where the Sky Meets the Sea is an M/M adventure-romance set in a steampunk-style world. It is a standalone novel with a HEA and no cliffhanger.

“Your lordship, when I spoke to you yesterday, I mentioned that the whalls are protecting other creatures in the sea.”
“Ah, yes, your… talking fish,” the baron said with an amused chuckle.
Eron flushed. “Yes, sir,” he said slowly.
“What is your point, Mr. Marcel?” the baron asked, giving him a hard stare through his purple lenses.
“My point is, can’t everything that we currently run with oil be run with steam or gas?” Eron asked.
Baron Forthwell gave a hearty laugh at that, as if Eron had just told a marvelous joke. “Of course, it could. But whall oil is worth so much more.”
“You’re having the sky divers kill whalls for oil even though you have other options?” Eron said, narrowing his eyes. “Do you not realize that the whalls are the only thing protecting the mer?”
“So what if they are?”
“You’re killing them both!” Eron protested. “Without the whalls, the mer will die.”
Forthwell shrugged his large shoulders. “Everything dies at some point.”
“Eventually there wouldn’t be any more whalls or mer,” Eron protested. “You’d hunt them both to extinction.”
The baron let out another booming laugh that made Eron flinch. “And?” he said. “The fewer whalls there are, the more expensive their products become. And it’s not as if we will not use alternatives when there are no more.”
“Use them now!” Eron protested. “Use steam power! You don’t have to kill the whalls!”
