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.

"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..."

Cora diligently oversaw the assistance efforts in the kingdom of Zion while continuing her search for Lady Tarah. "How come it seems so hard to find her?" Cora murmured weakly as she sat on a bench in the castle courtyard.

The sun was going down, and it would be dark soon. How many days had it been since she arrived in Zion? There had been progress in the kingdom's rebuilding, but her search for Lady Tarah remained fruitless.

If possible, she would love to find Lady Tarah soon before their king woke up, but it seemed increasingly difficult. Posting sketches everywhere would have been much easier, but their king wanted the search for Tarah to be discreet. They didn't want to attract too much attention, knowing many of Devon's loyal followers had escaped and were still on the loose. If they didn't tread carefully, they might end up putting Lady Tarah's life in more danger.

"Milady, would you like some tea?"
