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.

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.

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.

She Summoned Me...But How?
'I cannot die here—'
But her eyes soon widened when she grabbed empty air.
She was in the air, falling straight down from that cliff. It was so sudden that when her wits came back, it left her with a bitter smile. She knew that she would die as soon as she hit the ground.
'Unfair…'
She had just come out from that hellish mountain, and she had barely seen the outside world… but she was going to die already?
She closed her eyes, reluctant to accept her fate of dying, but her mind screamed, 'I don't want to die!'
Just as she had that thought, something warm wrapped around her body, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of red eyes staring back at her.
'It's him?'
The moment she saw Draven, she momentarily forgot about dying, and was simply startled to see him falling down the cliff with her. The harsh wind was making her ears buzz as the high pressure of wind was making her unable to keep her eyes open for long.
