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?

"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..."

"I… suppose we would just have to wait then."

With Ezekiel having disappeared on them, Queen Dana, along with Tarah and Wizard Lurio remained sitting in his tent while waiting for him to contact them. Well, Tarah would be the only one waiting while the other two waited for her to tell them something.

Somehow, it placed a bit of pressure on her to reassure the two that everything was fine.

"Waiting… is the only choice we have left, isn't it?" Lurio humorlessly chuckled at Tarah's offhand remark. "Until the Prince contacts you, we're left to simply speculate on what exactly is happening with His Highness."

"I'm sure that he knows what he's doing," Tarah reassured both the wizard and the queen. "He wouldn't just leave us like that without a plan. He even said that he'd contact us through our bond."
