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.

"F-Fire?" Leeora mumbled, and now her heart squeezed as her thoughts went to a certain someone. "This fire, did this spread before the stabbing? After? Did that someone perhaps lose reason? Maybe she was instigated…or, or maybe it wasn't a fire caused by magic. Maybe the fire broke out due to an accident? Like, like a lamp breaking? Or maybe another person started the fire?"
"...that fire is of magic, demanding blood, intending to burn everything in its path…"
"Did you see the face of the cause of that fire?" Leeora asked with caution.
With another cough of blood, Zelda broke away from that crystal ball, causing the glass to dim back until it looked like a pure black orb. The room was plunged back into darkness, and only the sounds of the witch gasping and coughing could be heard. Leeora immediately reached out into her pockets and handed the witch the small bottle of elixir she made. "Have this."
