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.

Bloodlust In Ember's Eyes

What Ember didn't know, in the middle of her magic lesson, Erlos had come to the training grounds and sought Draven, informing him that one of his aides, Wind Fae Melion, had come back to the palace and was waiting in his study to report something urgent. That was the real reason why the King had left.

After Ember's lesson, Helia went to the King's study. As per her usual practice, she would report the results of the day's lesson to Draven. However, Erlos told her he was still granting an audience to Melion, and thus, told her to wait for her turn to talk with the King. 

By the time their meeting finished, Helia had enjoyed a cup of tea in the reception room next door. 

Helia paid her respects to the King. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Draven accepted it with a light nod and commented on her expression, "Is she having trouble learning today?"
