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. All books are connected to each other but you can read them as stand-alone.
Draven no longer insisted as he listened to her. "I don't plan on doing more in bed either. Instead, I plan on taking you somewhere."
"We are going out?" Her eyes sparkled at the pleasant surprise. "Where?"
"You will know once we go there."
Though she was excited to go on an outing with Draven, she immediately calmed herself. "Don't you have to go to work? I understand you have been very busy these days."
"Work can wait," he said and got out of the bed, causing the sheets covering him to slide down, exposing his naked body for her to appreciate.
With a surprised yelp, Ember looked away, covering her head with the blanket like she had seen something she shouldn't have. Draven noticed her beet red face before she was able to hide it, and it caused a small smile to appear on his normally expressionless face.
'She loves to act bold but it doesn't take her a long time to act shy again.'
