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

By the time Luciana finished eating, she realized that she had forgotten something important, ''We don't have much time.''

Cardan stroked her hair as he fed her another pastry, adjusting her position on his lap, ''To get married? To have children?"

''Yes, marriage,'' When his eyes glimmered, she hit his chest softly, ''Who is marrying you? I don't believe in things like marriage and love.''

His gaze dimmed, ''One day, you will.''

''That day will never come,'' she sighed, ''I am talking about Esme's marriage with my Uncle. We do not have much time for it. We need to find Duke Maverick soon.''

Cardan frowned, ''I am not interested in that Duke or anyone. It's not bad if Esme marries that hare-brained merman.''

''He will have a painful death,'' Cardan winced, ''That woman is a disaster when she is provoked.''

Luciana chuckled, ''Don't badmouth her.''
