The Crown's Fire

[Warning: r18+/strong mature content] Amidst the clash of desire and betrayal, who will dare to sacrifice everything for the sake of love? With the ability to foresee the future, Tarah could propel kings to unprecedented heights of success or plunge them into the depths of irreversible failure. But when her kingdom fell, Tarah was forced to offer herself into servitude to her captor in exchange for her brother’s life, becoming a spy in a dangerous game against Ezekiel, the future Dragon King of Ebodia. Haunted by a prophecy of his doom by a woman’s hand, Prince Ezekiel has meticulously avoided female company throughout his life. However, everything changed when he met Tarah, the new fated Seer of Ebodia. Initially only caring about ruling the world, Ezekiel now finds himself strongly enamored by Tarah, at the risk of losing sight of his own goals. Caught between safeguarding her brother's life and the growing affection for the domineering ruler, Tarah faces a dilemma. Will she navigate this dangerous path, risking everything for her heart's desires? ********* Excerpt: "You can't escape me. There's nowhere in this world where you can hide from my reach," Ezekiel whispered, his breath warm against her neck. Her throat tightened as his lips grazed her skin. With a firm yet gentle grip on her chin, he tilted her head, urging her to meet his intense gaze, causing her heart to pound in her chest. "I'm here to make you remember every detail of the agony you've caused me," he declared. "Agony?!" she protested. "Yes, your cruel betrayal. Leaving me, breaking your promise..."

The weather was bitterly cold, making it difficult to gauge the time. Noon could have already passed unnoticed amidst the biting chill. Typically, Ezekiel would have donned a thicker cloak to combat the cold. However, he surmised that it was the dragon's power within him that allowed him to endure the chilling weather without feeling as affected.

Ezekiel lingered on the balcony with his sister Mineah, waiting for Tarah's return. She had left early in the morning, so she should have been back by now. They were engrossed in a serious conversation when the familiar and intoxicating scent of Tarah wafted through the air, catching Ezekiel's attention.

This time, Ezekiel felt relieved that she had no trace of the awful scent from last night, though it didn't automatically put him in a good mood. The mere thought of that annoying scent lingering around her made him grumpy.
