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.
It was time to discuss the next issue in their agenda, but Halifax felt a little hesitant mentioning it to their ill-tempered king.
"Your Majesty, the next issue is about His Majesty's mate, Lady Ember."
Draven did not say a word.
Taking his silence as approval, Halifax continued, "We are concerned about the kind of power His Majesty's mate possesses. Even His Majesty's power, which is strongest among our kind, fails short in front of it."
"It is not her power per se, but the fact that she is human with power that concerns you," Draven said in a flat tone.
"Your Majesty, according to the report, though instigated by Young Lady Isa, you cannot deny that Lady Ember killed three people. You also cannot deny that Lady Ember lost control of her powers. If not for the Commander luckily stopping her…Alas!"
