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

Today, Niran prepared herself after receiving a royal decree to which she had been chosen by the King to accompany the Queen on her visits to the provinces of Valcrez.

She didn't expect Raul to see her off, let alone accompany her. Lately, he was always gone early in the morning, as if he couldn't bear to see her or even cross paths with her. But as she stepped into the carriage, her breath caught. Raul was already inside, waiting.

Her lips parted in surprise before quickly curving into a smile.

"I'm glad you're here," she murmured, unable to stop herself.

"It's my responsibility. I received the royal edict, so I must comply," he replied flatly, his gaze fixed on the window.

He sat across from her, distant as ever. She didn't press further. Raul could have traveled in his mist form, avoiding her entirely, yet he chose to be here. That was something, at least.
