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?

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..."

"Just a little longer," she murmured softly to him, her voice a reassuring whisper, as she gently wiped away a smudge of dirt from his still form. "We'll have you out of harm's way soon enough."

Eventually, Queen Dana, accompanied by wizard Lurio, reentered Ezekiel's tent to commence the extraction of Vulcan's soul. With solemn determination, they began the preparations for the ritual. Tarah, as Vulcan's dragonrider, stood still understanding her important role as the only one capable of controlling the dragon's soul should they encounter any mishaps.

"Are you ready, Tarah?" the Queen asked her once the preparations were in place.
