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?

Useless and fleeting

The renewed hope in his heart died the moment when he saw how terribly Aleister seemed to be suffering. 

''It is not possible,'' As if Rezeph could read the thoughts in Duke Maverick's mind, he spoke up, ''Aleister does not have any ability to revive the dead. It is against the nature. What he is doing right now, comes with a price that he has to pay later.'' 

''I…'' Duke Maverick's eyes moistened up as he looked at his nephew who was bruised and bloodied, seemingly hanging by a breath as he stood there mid-air. An intense golden glow was circling around him and the sight of the man seemed to be majestic yet all that glory did not hide the pain he was enduring, ''I can see the price that he is paying.'' 

Rezeph glanced at the man's innocent face and sighed. Despite his unwillingness to reveal the truth, he spoke up, ''This is not the price. This is the punishment.'' 

''What?" Duke Maverick's eyes widened.
