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..."

"Because... I need you to become powerful. So... so that you'll be victorious against your enemies, Your Highness," Tarah stammered, her words faltering as she struggled to articulate her true intentions. She inwardly cursed herself for being unable to express the full extent of her desires - for Prince Ezekiel to successfully kill Devon.

"You didn't answer my question at all, Tarah," Ezekiel interjected, his tone firm as he pressed the issue. "So you willingly risked my safety just so I could become powerful? You're willing to endanger my life knowing this might not work out and could even put me in harm's way?"

Tarah offered him a reassuring smile. "It may not work, but I'm confident it won't endanger your life, Your Majesty," she replied, her voice steady despite her inner turmoil.
