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

Ricci stepped forward and greeted the old man.

"Master Vesarion. It's been a while." She then turned her attention to the two raven haired women behind the old man. "Stella, Cana."

"What brings you here, Ricci?" The old man asked with a laugh, his eyes giving the three mortal women a good look. His eyes then settled to Iris. The smile on his face vanished, replaced with an impassive mask.

"Is this lady the rumored magus mated to Lord Kieran?" He asked again.

Ricci nodded and smiled proudly as she introduced Iris.

"Yes, Master Vesarion. This is Lady Iris Scarborough and her friends, Miss Amelia Buchanan and Miss Chrysanthe Vale. They just recently moved to Aisgarth to live with us."

"Ah! It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Iris. Word travels fast here in Aisgarth, I'm afraid. Please come inside. You must have come to see us for a reason." Master Vesarion  dipped his head as a greeting. He then gestured to them to enter his magi guild.
