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.

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.

The Black Dragon's Mate
That woman from his dreams, since she shouldn't be a stranger but someone he cherished, then why was it in his earlier dreams, he had seen her holding a knife to his chest?
Was she an enemy? A lover? A lover turned enemy?
Though he couldn't answer that, there was something his intuition was telling him— the closeness he had with her felt the same as what he felt with Ember.
'And why did Ember call me Raven? How did she know that name which I only heard in my dreams?'
A strange thought came to his mind as he remembered how Ember's face and the face of the woman in his dreams overlapped.
'What if rather than her ancestor…Ember is that very woman?'
He almost scoffed at how stupid he was being, yet he could not drive the strange feeling away.
'Though they looked different, their resemblance is too uncanny to say they are not the same person. But how can that be? Am I thinking too much or…?'
