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

"I suppose like Phantom, you didn't give them a name." She said, attempting to dispel the awkward silence between them.

As she looked at him, Iris thought that he was dressed like a dark king today. His silver hair was tied in a loose ponytail, complimenting the long-sleeved black dress shirt he was donning. He also had on a pair of matching gloves and a black cravat around his neck.

"You are fond of naming animals whether they are darklings or not, aren't you? Little Flower, do you intend to spend the next few days lying asleep on your bed again?"

"You're way more powerful than me, but you didn't even bother to give them a name." She retorted.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

"If you'll help me think of names that will suit them, then I can do the naming for them."

"But, why?" Iris asked, baffled. "Why would you do that for me?"
