Marquis Gebhard was condemned to an eternal curse, making him an outcast, his life a mere prison of solitude. Until his eyes met Princess Ares, igniting a wild obsession for her. He'll stop at nothing to claim what he believes is his right, even if the price is the darkest magic.
When he manages to steal the handsome Duke Vermond's body through a forbidden ritual, Gebhard believes all his dreams have come true. In the Duke's powerful form, he can finally approach the Princess who has captivated his soul. But his first morning in his new life reveals a startling surprise that turns his world upside down: a faint whimper from the bed reveals a beautiful, pregnant woman, eerily similar to Princess Ares herself.
Now, jealousy consumes Gebhard with a ferocity he's never known. The Duke didn't just possess beauty and acceptance; he was hiding a deeper, far more complex secret. Is this woman a copy? A twin? Or part of a larger conspiracy? As Gebhard navigates the Duke's lavish life, he discovers that the shadows in this new world are much darker than he ever imagined.
Can Gebhard control his new life and utterly destroy the Duke's old one without being exposed? Or will the secrets lurking within Vermond Manor turn him from the hunter into the hunted, driving him to a madness even darker than his original curse?

In the Moonlight
A girl in a white veil, the forest calls her to itself. She will be lost in it forever. A quiet voice, a whisper leads his bride far away. Somewhere there stands an old castle, a cursed prince dwells within its walls. When the full moon rises in the night sky, the monster awakens. The white veil of the bride turns crimson. A story as old as time. Nereyeny ran towards the forest as if her life was at stake. She hesitated for a moment before crossing the line of no return. She looked back at the place where she had grown up, lived, and was supposed to die and lie in the ground there forever. All her life layed there, everything except the one thing she longed for the most. Freedom. "Nereyeny!" They were already looking for her. She couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. She turned on her heel and stepped into the darkness. She knew that no one would dare to chase her there. Only a fool. People were afraid of the cursed forest. Eyes watching your every step. Whispers leading you into the void. Creatures from the depths of hell itself. They say dark forces dwell there, no one who goes in will ever come out. And Nereyeny was proof that it was all a lie, spending almost every day there, running under the treetops like a wild wolf. She didn't believe those tales. About the full moon. About the proud prince. About the curse. Until she too became one of those lost in its bowels. Trapped in the same trap as Prince Astreus, son of the Sun and the Moon. A proud prince, real, made of flesh and blood, who is not at all like she has heard of him. At least the fairy tales are wrong about one thing. And maybe they are wrong about everything. Secrets, pride, the whims of the gods, and maybe even fate itself. A burnt-out faith in breaking the curse. Nereyeny must now find a way out before the next full moon comes and the monster finds her.Complete
