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.
Miss Is Really Pretty
Afterwards, Ember was directed to her wardrobe room.
Ember blinked. 'Is it just me or are there more clothes than yesterday's?'
Yesterday, there were merely a handful of pretty dresses hanging on the racks attached by the wall, but now, it seemed that a dozen more clothes were added inside. Nightgowns, colourful casual dresses, even fancy dresses she remembered seeing in books, all of them were present. She could see some similar to the simple elf clothes Leeora gave her, while there were others that had delicate frills and ribbons. Meanwhile, the shelves contained accessories, shoes, and everything else that a proper lady needed to get ready.
Of course, for Ember who had lived a reclusive life in a mountain, many of these were things she had seen for the first time.
"What do you think, Miss Ember?" Yula asked, satisfied with the human's look of awe. "Many of the girls had worked hard overnight to finish these dresses for you."
