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 almost fell on her knees the moment they arrived inside their tent in the encampment. If it wasn't for Nikolai who quickly held and supported her with his arms, she probably would've collapsed right then and there.

"Are you alright, Mine?" Nikolai asked as he quickly carried and gently put her on their bed.

"Yes, just a bit exhausted," Mineah reassured him with a faint smile. "Also, can you please get my Mother? She's probably still worried."

"Right, I'll go get Mother," Nikolai nodded.

"Thank you so much, Lai," Mineah murmured, filled with love as she gently squeezed Nikolai's hand. He had furrowed forehead, looking perplexed as he hesitantly got up.

"I'll get Mother now," he informed her before walking out of the tent.

Mineah followed her husband's trail, all the while, her mind was already running with how much she had in her thoughts. Keeping secrets from her husband was starting to weigh heavy on her mind as the days passed by.
