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

Ezme was humming as she prepared the boxes for Atlas's early dinner. It was already summer, but the weather was pleasant, with the sun's rays gentle enough for a picnic. She sighed and mumbled with a pout, "It would be nice if I could mark him so we can have a couple bond. Then I could communicate through the bond and ask him where he is right now."

Grabbing her things, Ezme transformed into her mist form and traveled directly to Atlas's office. As she expected, he wasn't there. His men informed her that he had gone to Mount Sorel to meet with the Sorel Guild's masters.

Ezme sighed again as she waited for Atlas's return. "This won't do. Maybe I should bind a raven with me so I can have it on him, but I'm not sure if he will like it," she mumbled.

After a moment's thought, Ezme transformed again and went to a nearby forest to find a raven she could bind. She found one and called for it to perch on her arm.
