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

Liliana had never encountered a demon as strong as this one before them. Cold sweat trickled down the side of her face, knowing that neither she nor Ricci were strong enough to fight against him. She was sure that he was only using a fraction of his true strength and there was no telling whether he was stronger than Lord Kieran or the other twelve demon lords of Asnar.

"Marcus?" They heard their lady call out his name, but the man remained still, his hands folded behind his back as he looked at Iris restlessly.

Liliana was confused. She couldn't understand why Marcus Ashwood looked concerned about their Lady Iris. What could he possibly want from her?

"Marcus!" Ricci tried to get his attention again. The pain of betrayal was apparent on her face. "Is that even your real name? Did you purposely befriend me for a reason?"

This time Marcus turned his attention to her. A weak smile crossed his lips as he looked at her with pity.
