Book 1 of the Brides of Darkness Series

For hundreds of years, Calaren Town had been offering virgin maidens to fulfill their part on the treaty they made with the Court of Shadows to keep their small town under their protection. To be chosen meant death to the townsfolk, as there was no turning back to becoming a human again.

Upon realizing that her younger sister was chosen as one of the maidens to be sacrificed by their impoverished town to the thirteen demon lords who once ruled their land, Iris Scarborough volunteered to take her place instead to save her.

There was nothing exceptional about Iris, except for the secret she was keeping from everyone. However, even before she was taken away, Iris had already caught the eye of one of the demon lords.

Rumors say that Lord Kieran Fleurnoir was the personification of death. His mere presence was enough to suck the life essence out of those around him. He was also known to be one of the strongest demons of all time, who possesses extremely dangerous and powerful magic.

Taken to Asnar, a place filled with magical beings and monsters, Iris found herself enthralled and captivated not only by the place and its residents, but also by the cold and enigmatic demon lord, Lord Kieran.

Once there, Iris realized that Asnar and Lord Kieran himself were different from what humans thought them to be.

Loosely based on the tales of ‘Hades and Persephone’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

Bride of the Demon Lord

A descendant of the Black Mage? Now that was something neither he nor the rest of the Court of Shadows had considered.

Lord Kieran couldn't believe what he was hearing, but it also made sense why the monsters of the labyrinth had been very careful with their actions throughout the past centuries, and why the Court of Shadows couldn't stop them from advancing. He briefly wondered if the previous attacks were just a decoy for the Guardians of the Black Mage to sneak into other parts of Asnar.

When Lord Kieran said nothing, Randal continued to grin, ignoring the fact that he was in a bloody mess. He was clearly taunting him, but the demon lord was more curious about Randall right now.

"Why are you telling me this?" The demon lord questioned. "Why would you divulge such important information to me, knowing that I'm your enemy?"

He found it suspicious that Randall was willing to speak now, since it's been a while since he was apprehended by his subordinates.
