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

Dinner arrived, and although Tarah and Ezekiel remained cuddled on the bed, they eventually had to rise, as Ezekiel's father had requested their presence for dinner at Rose Palace.

"Are you truly certain about taking office at Jade Palace?" King Stephan inquired during the meal.

"Yes, Father. It would be cumbersome for both of you to relocate, and I know you and Mother have countless memories here. Jade Palace is spacious enough for me to assume office, and I've grown accustomed to living there. Renovations will begin tomorrow during the coronation," Ezekiel explained.

Tarah quietly listened to the conversation between father and son as she ate. "Can we have tea later, dear?" Queen Dana suddenly interjected when they were nearing the end of dinner.

Tarah nodded with a smile. After dinner, Ezekiel and his father retired to King Stephan's private study for further discussion, while Tarah accompanied the Queen to the inner courtyard for tea.
