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.

Isn't She Adorable?
After Morpheus left, the others continued to observe the witches milling about inside the coven's most important place. Ember was enjoying herself witnessing the people work with such concentration and skill. There was something impressive about people who worked hard, be it their expression or dedication, and the serious atmosphere within the workroom was something impossible to be captured in the written words of a book. Not to mention, these witches had opened up a truly magical world for Ember.
"Lady Cornelia, do you make your potions here as well?" Ember asked after a while.
"I do guide and take part in important research here, but the potions I make by myself, I do that in my residence. I have a personal workroom that I use. Some potions that need a longer time, like a year or maybe more, to create, I especially do them in private."
"Year or more? Isn't it too long?"
