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. All books are connected to each other but you can read them as stand-alone.

Why Is His Attention Elsewhere?’

The next morning, Ember was readying herself for her magic lesson with her instructor,  Fire Fae Helia. Not being able to sleep well due to what Isa said to her, her head was feeling a little heavy and she felt cranky despite having a sumptuous morning meal. 

Lady Helia was waiting for her at the training grounds in the rear of the palace by the time she arrived. In the previous lesson, Ember succeeded in finding her energy core, and now, both she and her instructor looked forward to her progress. Of course, it probably wouldn't be easy given Ember's special case. 

When Ember reached the middle of the training grounds, Lady Helia cordially greeted her."Good morning, Miss Ember. I hope you have been well since we last parted."

"Good morning!"

Though her voice was bright, Lady Helia noticed how Ember had to force herself to smile.

"Pardon if I sound intrusive, but you feel…gloomy? Is everything all right, Miss Ember?"
