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.
Though the male fox was not his father, Ember saw how affectionately he looked at the child like he was his own. Light smiled painted on her lips as she watched the child playing with his parents.
'It's good to have your own child, isn't it?' Suddenly she thought about Draven being a father and they had their child. She wondered how Draven would be as a father, 'Will he show affection towards our child often or will he just have those same cold expressions? Will he even smile and talk alot or will he just sit quiet and observe?' she sighed, 'Hard to imagine. But one thing is sure, he will make sure to protect our child at all the costs. That is what he does the best- to protect everyone around him.'
