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.
"Erlos!" Draven called for him, who had gone out to see off Leeora.
He immediately entered the chamber, "Yes, Sire?"
"Send a message to Cornelia that Ember would be visiting the Witch Clan today," Draven informed.
"Today? Oh Okay! I will do it right away," Erlos said as he was ready to leave.
"You will be accompanying her so have Midnight send the message," Draven suggested.
"Midnight?" Erlos laughed a little to which he received a questioning glare from Drayce.
"Well Sire, these days Midnight is busy just like you," Erlos replied.
"Where did he go?" Draven then thought about it, "I have not seen him for days now."
"Sire, you were so busy to not pay attention to him so he found someone to give his entire attention. He found his mate and just like his master he is busy everyday."
