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.
After a long, grueling conversation, Morpheus bid the Black Witch farewell, promising to return after some progress with their plan. He then went to Draven, and he successfully took over his responsibilities in relation to the day of mourning.
Fortunately, Draven's attention was diverted by his investigation of Myra's whereabouts.
From then Morpheus began to busy himself with the security of the kingdom.
Thinking about how to spend the remaining days of his life, Morpheus found a new appreciation for life. He felt strangely enthusiastic, finally having a goal after aimlessly drifting in the past. It was as if a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders.
The Next day, after a morning meeting in the palace, he went to see Ember after informing Draven. Long used to his attitude, Draven didn't stop him.
When he saw her beautiful form standing on the balcony, his heart could not help but flutter.
