Ensnaring his Dark Moon

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?

A powerful pawn

Aleister. The man whom everyone feared. The person she was supposed to dread but in the end, she felt relief knowing that he was around her. That he had his gaze on her and the moment something happened, he would appear. 

Then came his family.

When Aleister and her said that they loved each other as a pretense, she had expected the royal family to try to poison her at the very least. Esme had felt grateful that she knew about herbs at that moment. 

But much to her surprise, they treated her like a treasure. 

Esme had initially been suspicious of Duchess Flora when that woman appeared at the ballroom, right at the moment she was about to extort the truth from that servant girl but as time passed by, she was blinded. Blinded by the greed of having everything she never had. 

Having been betrayed by her trusted Uncle, and sharing a stranded bond with her Aunt, she never experienced such familial love.
