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

After having lunch with his parents, Ezekiel called for a brief meeting in the throne hall to show his subjects that he was back and well.

"We're glad to see you back, Your Majesty!" Everyone greeted him with a bow as he sat on his throne.

"Please rise. This meeting won't take long. I have an important announcement to make." Ezekiel began, waiting until he had everyone's attention.

"Our kingdom will join a week-long Global Summit before autumn ends. It will be managed and hosted by the Sorel Guild at Haven Forest. Official invitations will be sent out starting tomorrow, and I want you to prepare everything necessary for our kingdom's participation in this."

Murmurs filled the throne hall, and Ezekiel could see the surprise on everyone's faces. He raised a hand to call for silence.

"A Global Summit? Could you please enlighten us more about this, Your Majesty?" Minister Greg inquired.
