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.

As Ember and Erlos approached the midpoint to the palace, an unusual silence enveloped their path. Erlos, attuned to the subtleties of his surroundings, detected a shift. His ears twitched, prompting him to lower his voice.

"Lady Ember..."

"Can you just call me Ember?" She interrupted him, reminiscent of our trip to the witch's clan.

Erlos hesitated, acknowledging the transformation in her status. "Your position has elevated significantly since those days, now being a lady of the palace and officially His Majesty's mate. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to..."

"Just when we're alone. I don't have friends anymore. Morph was the only one..." Her voice trailed off, a hint of sadness lingering in her eyes. She missed him.

"Ember," Erlos finally addressed her by name, "I'll call you Ember when we're alone, alright?"
