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. All books are connected to each other but you can read them as stand-alone.

Can I Touch You?

Ember could hear her own loud heartbeats, and her palms turned sweaty as she held onto the skirt of her dress.

'Shall I turn to look at him? What if my expression offends him? Oh no, what is my expression like? Do I look scared?' She shook her head. 'It should be fine. He is my mate. I have seen White Tigers and even the feathered races in their beast forms. They simply look like large animals. I shouldn't be scared of animals. Dragons should be just large lizards with wings, right?' 

She repeated those lines in her mind over and over again, but whatever courage she managed to scrunch up evaporated along with the warm blow of air behind her, the loud but relatively shallow breath of a divine beast.

'No, no, no, I can't look! Dragons are said to be the most powerful divine beasts in existence. Can I really turn around and pretend that I'm not scared? What if my reaction upsets Draven?'
