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?

''Eat more. You have turned thin. Stop looking at the bed as if you can barely resist eating me.''

''What do you intend to do after this ends? Visteria is in ruins and the castle is empty…''

As Esme trailed off, Aleister arched a brow, ''We can restore the kingdom, make it back to how it was. Uncle will be taking over the throne rightfully. And after that, we need to drag your brother down from the Serpent palace and take him back to Nevesray. Because of everything that transpired in the past year, you have yet to visit Aunt and Arlan. We can go back to see them.''

Esme lowered her head to look at the glass of wine in her hand, her fingers trailing around the rims of the glass, ''Have this…?"

Aleister grabbed the glass from her hand without hesitation, ''You are unsatisfied with what I said?"
