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

''Then why do you ask?" Esme rolled her eyes, ''Tell me.''

''When you came here to the Capital City...'' Aleister paused as he noticed her expression, ''I was the one who attacked you in the Enchantment Forest.''

Esme, who had her eyes closed as she danced while feeling the breeze, stopped feeling it after she heard his words, ''What did you say?" Her eyes opened.

''When I saw it was you, I retracted my sword,'' Aleister added.

Esme gaped at him, ''You... You recognized me since then?"

''Your eyes are rare,'' he raised an eyebrow at her.

Esme blinked, ''No...You... You were the one who attacked me and my horse?" As he nodded, she laughed dryly, ''And you say that we are fated. I would not have lived till this day if I had not caught that arrow in time,'' She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him slightly.
