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.

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.

We Need To Save Him

The man managed to drag himself towards the barrier, despite him taking some time.
Since he could enter it, he thought he could freely get past it this time as well, but the moment he touched the barrier, his hand was pushed back.
Draven had guessed it, but confirming it still made him grit his teeth in frustration.
Thala had made sure he would not leave this cave at any cost.
Draven heard Aureus' guilt-ridden voice, "My apologies. It's because of my blood. I…I should not have listened to my uncle and should not have given my blood. I didn't think he was really going to harm you, King Draven."
