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.

He kissed her gently, trying to comfort and distract her at the same time, and then before she knew it, he thrusted himself, such that he was completely inside of her in one swift move, making her let out a loud gasp of pain. She felt like she was being ripped apart. That sudden intrusion inside her was both strange and painful, and it was hurting so much that she had to stop herself from begging him to pull it out. Her eyes could not stop shedding tears as whatever she tried, it was hard to find comfort in that pain.
'How could anyone want to do this?'
The books had to be lying when they said it felt good. They said it would only hurt briefly, and then it would feel good. But this tearing pain, Ember found it hard to believe that it was possible for anyone to enjoy this.
'Ah, so painful…'
