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..."

The Crown's Fire

Tarah and her friends, Duke Apollo, Princess Ezme, and Cora, decided to stroll outside Ebodia Royal Estate's walls. To avoid attracting attention, they dressed up as commoners. Tarah appreciated the anonymity this provided, as she didn't want to be recognized as the kingdom's fated seer. Walking through the streets, they blended in seamlessly with the crowd.

Princess Ezme chattered happily about the sights and sounds of the city, while Apollo and Cora kept a watchful eye on their surroundings. Tarah felt a sense of relief being able to enjoy this moment. She noticed that only a few Ebodians were roaming around the Market Square.

"Ah, the scent of fresh human blood since I entered Ebodia!" Ezme bluntly remarked with a sniff. Tarah chuckled softly, knowing well of the princess's determination to abstain from drinking human blood since her time at the Ebodia Encampment. It must have been challenging for her, but she seemed resolute.
