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

While Aleister was calculating the consequences in his mind, the woman named Rory spoke up, ''My Lord, both me and my sister tend to the guests here. I was assigned to look after Lady Esme when she moved from the Norwell Manor to the castle…''

Since the woman saw through what he wanted to know about, Aleister gazed at Cardan who prompted him to follow along on it.

Aleister raised his hand and an invisible shield covered them. After all, Esme was not easy to be fooled.

To squeeze a reaction out of her, he was doing something he had never done before. As humiliating as it was, the thought of her being true to her feelings overpowered the remaining thoughts that he had.

''So that's how it happened. We searched the whole Castle but Lord Leo was not around,'' The soldier said exasperatedly. Most of the people in the castle addressed Leo as 'Lord Leo' or 'Young Master Leo' which Luciana used to laugh at but now she felt solemn.
