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

''What happened then?" Aleister thought about her younger self. Somewhere, she lacked the cheerfulness that children usually have. The Esme from back then resembled the Esme in present; mature, calm, and sensible.

''When such thoughts kept bothering me, I tried to keep a distance from the children of my age who approached me. I didn't know how to do it properly and so I appeared cold and harsh and they did not know how to cross the walls that I had built around my heart so rumors went around that the….''

Esme paused as she raised her head. After confirming that no one was around, she continued speaking, ''…that the Princess of Nevesray was arrogant and conceited. And with that, I was approached by people superficially, just because they feared my title. Over the time, I truly lost interest in getting to know people and only stayed with my brothers most of the time.''
