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?

''Do you think that... that person was a...'' 

''A merman,'' Aleister said, ''The mer people are half-humans but they retain the property of a fish, a tail, fins, scales, and tears that...'' He paused noticing the paleness of her face. There were words that he wanted to utter but he stopped himself. 

Esme closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath, ''Don't stop,'' She glanced at the darkening clouds and rumbling thunder. The weather of Visteria has always been this unpredictable as to when they stepped out of the castle, she could still see the sun which was nowhere to be seen now.
