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.
Seeing those red eyes sharpen in his direction, Morpheus nodded, understanding that Draven was giving him a chance to speak.
"We shapeshifters generally look down on humans, but every once in a century, a half-breed would appear in our midst, showing that our races could find compatibility with humans even though they are weaker than us.
"However, mating is rare, and mating with humans ever rarer, still, compared to you, I am knowledgeable. You too know that you have no experience of any sort about how to care for your mate to provide her with some strength, so shouldn't you at least listen to me who has knowledge?"
Seeing no response from Draven, Morpheus continued.
"I am sure she must be looking like a corpse at this moment as her body cannot take on the burden of such a powerful bond. Isn't she losing her life force faster?"
