The Devil's Cursed Witch
The tale of a man who brings death and a girl who denies it. ---- On the haunted mountain in the kingdom, they say there lived a witch. She was born a princess. But even before her birth, the priest declared her to be cursed and demanded her death. They poisoned the mother to kill the baby before she gave birth, but the baby was born out of the dead mother—a cursed child. Again and again, they tried to kill the baby but she miraculously survived every single attempt. Giving up, they abandoned her on the haunted mountain to die but she still survived on that barren land— A witch ‘Why won’t she die?’ Years later, the people finally had enough of the witch and decided to burn the mountain. But the Devil arrived to her rescue and took her with him from that burning place, because dying was not her destiny even then. Draven Amaris. The Black Dragon, who ruled over supernatural beings, the Devil who no one wished to cross a path with. He hated humans but this certain human girl would pull him towards her whenever she was in danger. ‘Is she really a human?’ He took the human with him and named this mysteriously tenacious girl “Ember”, a piece of glowing coal in a dying fire. A soul tainted with vengeance and the darkness of hell, would rise from the ashes and fulfil her revenge. ------ This is the second book from the series of The Devils and Witches. 1st book - Witch's daughter and the Devil's son. 3rd book- The Devil's Betrothed.

Arrival Of Someone New
Ember could not help but be stupefied. A third party? Did he mean someone like an enemy? Was there someone out there who she wronged before? And since it was causing her pain, was it some sort of magical attack? Was he implying she's been cursed?
His words only brought more questions to her chaotic mind.
Draven continued despite her shock. "You are the first human with an energy core inside your body, and it is in a sealed state."
"Is that why it feels like something keeps stopping me despite Lady Helia saying that finding an energy core should feel as easy as breathing?"
"Hmm." Draven nodded.
"The seal makes it impossible for you to use your energy core to its fullest. When I marked you, it weakened the power of that seal, which must have alerted the one who had casted that seal."
No wonder she never experienced these before coming to Agartha. "And this person who put the seal on my energy core is causing these chest pains?"
