He is her salvation. She, his demise. Yet, he refuses to let her go…

Mineah, the youngest Princess of Ebodia, was cursed at birth to remain untainted and bring misfortune to those around her. This prophecy looms over her like a dark cloud, growing bigger every year it does not come to pass. 

She exists in hushed rumors as a pitiful figure - fragile, meek, unwanted. Underneath that mask is a strong and feisty vixen worthy of being a queen. And this would-be queen has set her eyes on breaking her curse, even if that means tricking the most cunning vampire ever born. 

Nikolai, though reclusive and enigmatic, is revered by the Kingdom of Valcrez as a wise and powerful ruler. Unbeknownst to his loyal subjects, his image of perfection is a web of lies that if exposed can send their kingdom and everything they hold dear crumbling beneath their feet. 

When these two find their paths crossed in a marriage alliance, the game of Crown's Seduction begins. But just who is the hunter and who is the prey?

Excerpt:
“Why are you stripping naked in front of me?” she questioned with a frown, doing little to hide the irritation in her voice. Her goal was to capture only his heart, not his whole body!

“Am I not allowed to have a bath with my wife?” he remarked with a cold tone. “I purposely asked for a big tub to just make sure that the two of us will fit in it together.”

She sighed, not tearing her gaze away from him as she regained her composure. Seeing him smirk she forced herself to get comfortable as he spoke. 

“That’s more like it. You said it yourself that no one forced you into marrying me. Instead, you offered and volunteered yourself willingly for it, so I expect that you’ll be confident enough to share a bath with your husband,” Nikolai confidently stated. “After all, we’ll do more than this soon enough.”

Shameless… 

Preventing herself from rolling her eyes, she managed to give him a smile as she said, “Don’t blame me if you die on me then.”

The Crown's Seduction

Mineah woke up a bit late that morning, and to her disappointment, the bed was already empty. Nikolai was already gone from her side.

"Where did he go this time?" she pouted as she got up from the bed. Usually, Nikolai would at least bid her farewell before leaving. In the end, however, she just shrugged and moved on. She could only assume that he probably didn't wake her up to let her sleep more.

Yawning, she was still in the process of shaking off the drowsiness she was feeling from staying up late with Nikolai when she heard someone knocking on her door.

"Your Majesty," a familiar voice called out. "We're here."

Mineah hummed. Recognizing Dani's voice, she replied, "Come in."

Without another word, Dani and the rest of her shadow maidens came in as she prepared herself for her morning routine. The three of them rushed to do their usual tasks, complete with the briefing that came from their hopefully fruitful information gathering.
