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.

You Are A Princess
Despite taking stops in between teleportation for Ember's sake, allowing her brief rest every time to ensure her body's condition, it took them hours to reach the Kingdom of Valor. The sun had long set by the time they stopped at the borderline mountains of the capital city.
In the darkness of the night, the city was calm, the streets mostly empty, many of the city residents asleep in their own houses.
"We have arrived," Draven informed her as he set her down to stand on her feet.
Ember looked ahead towards the city. Under the night sky, the city lights looked like flickering fireflies. It seemed large, the buildings spreading out the horizon, seemingly too much to take in at a single glance.
In the middle of the city, there was a looming presence, a palace complex tens of times larger that the one in Agartha.
