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

As requested by Ezme, Atlas traveled with her to Wright Manor inside the carriage. The manor was situated in the eastern part of Ebodia near the Capital City so they aimed to arrive in time for dinner having departed early before dawn.

Ezme gazed at Atlas's sleeping form inside the carriage. "He's been working so hard," she murmured, nuzzling her face against his neck.

Despite the bumpy road, Atlas remained sound asleep, exhausted from his increased workload since Ezekiel defeated Devon. Ebodia was providing aid to the freed kingdoms upon Ezekiel's orders, and Atlas was overseeing this effort in addition to his usual duties.

"This Ezekiel should wake up soon so I can have more of your time," she sighed softly. The burden on Atlas had doubled since Ezekiel's victory since Ezekiel was still unconscious. Ezme felt how busy Atlas was with his going on fieldwork often, leaving her alone inside his office to assist him with some of his pending document works.
