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.

I Will Ask Him To Teach Me
After having eaten her lunch, Ember was quiet as she walked the hallway back to her chamber, her mind filled with complicated thoughts about the things she learned from Yula a while ago. The moment she entered her chamber, she was welcomed by the sweet chirping sound of her pet, Ray.
She walked towards the cage and saw the adorable little bird happily feasting on a small bowl of mixed grains. Once she saw her master, Ray lifted her head as if to imply she was finished eating. She hopped here and there in a silly dance before settling on the small tiny swing inside the cage.
"Finally, you are back?" Ember said as she sat on the window sill where the cage was kept. She remembered what the bird had done this morning and how she embarrassed her in front of the King.
"You naughty, naughty bird. What am I going to do with you? How can you embarrass me in front of His Majesty? I am your master and the things I tell you should be secrets between us."
