Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid.

Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way.

And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. 

When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated.

Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

Ensnaring his Dark Moon

As soon as she placed her hands in his, a golden glow appeared around their feet. Her mouth parted in disbelief and all of a sudden her vision blurred. She closed her eyes, her grip on his hand tightened and the next time she opened them, they were not in the garden anymore.

They were standing on the seashore, ''...How?" was all she could utter as she stepped back from him.

''Some of the powers that I have,'' Aleister grabbed her hand as he stepped towards her.

Esme glanced at him for a few seconds continuously before averting her gaze, ''You have powers that are never heard of....'' She sighed, ''Does anyone knows about this?" She asked, trying to retract her hand from his hold.

''Other than Rowan and Leo, no one knows,'' He loosened his grip on her and just as she was about to take her hand back, he intertwined their fingers.

''Then why would you show me?" Wasn't he worried that she would go around telling people?

Like what, Esme?
