Amidst the clash of desire and betrayal, who will dare to sacrifice everything for the sake of love?

With the ability to foresee the future, Tarah could propel kings to unprecedented heights of success or plunge them into the depths of irreversible failure. But when her kingdom fell, Tarah was forced to offer herself into servitude to her captor in exchange for her brother’s life, becoming a spy in a dangerous game against Ezekiel, the future Dragon King of Ebodia.

Haunted by a prophecy of his doom by a woman’s hand, Prince Ezekiel has meticulously avoided female company throughout his life. However, everything changed when he met Tarah, the new fated Seer of Ebodia. Initially only caring about ruling the world, Ezekiel now finds himself strongly enamored by Tarah, at the risk of losing sight of his own goals.

Caught between safeguarding her brother's life and the growing affection for the domineering ruler, Tarah faces a dilemma. Will she navigate this dangerous path, risking everything for her heart's desires?

Excerpt:

"You can't escape me. There's nowhere in this world where you can hide from my reach," Ezekiel whispered, his breath warm against her neck.

Her throat tightened as his lips grazed her skin.

With a firm yet gentle grip on her chin, he tilted her head, urging her to meet his intense gaze, causing her heart to pound in her chest.

"I'm here to make you remember every detail of the agony you've caused me," he declared.

"Agony?!" she protested.

"Yes, your cruel betrayal. Leaving me, breaking your promise..."

The Crown's Fire

"I feel like my heart would burst at any minute just seeing you smile… It's too beautiful and endearing, but suffocating at the same time."

Tarah's face turned crimson at what she just heard. She could feel the rapid beat of her heart, and the tingling that swept up the back of her neck and across her face as she stared back at Ezekiel was exhilarating. He was rubbing the back of his neck before cursing and tearing his gaze away from her.

She… didn't know how to respond to that. She didn't see that coming at all. It was a compliment, but obviously, he looked vexed with how he delivered it.

Tarah unknowingly bit her lower lip as she tried her best to suppress the smile forming on her face. It would've been awkward if he caught her smiling.
