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?

Adrian Reis

Aleister stepped towards the tree and twirled his fingers slowly. A soft wind blew taking away all the dried leaves with it.

Esme closed her eyes at the ghastly sight that she saw.

Despite closing her eyes, that sight was still imprinted in her mind.

Laying below the tree was a corpse and one could see the person's bones. Their cheeks were hollow and deep and their flesh seemed to have rotten.

"I'll send the word to the Magistrate," Aiden said, taking his eyes off the corpse as he looked at the setting sun, "We should leave," The sky was gradually darkening and the birds were returning to their trees.

Esme opened her eyes and followed his gaze. For some reason, the sky looked like a huge expanse of a bowl turned upside down. There was a crimson glow around the setting sun.

A chill ran down her spine, an uneasiness crept in her heart.

Esme quietly shifted from her position and she grabbed Aleister's hand without saying anything.
