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

"What do you think would happen if the rest of the twelve demon lords found out that you are the descendant of the Black Mage? Do you think they would allow you and your siblings to live in peace?" Marcus continued to speak, ignoring Liliana's words against him.

He now stood in front of Iris, her black vines unable to stop him as they turned into ashes as soon as they touched him. Marcus overpowered not only her bodyguards, but Iris as well.

"Are you a guardian of the labyrinth?" She asked, not knowing why she was asking him this anyway.

"I am," Marcus nodded. "If you willingly embrace your fate, know that I will be by your side whatever might come. You will have my loyalty and honesty."

"Honesty?" Iris scoffed. "You're one to talk, Marcus. Haven't you already deceived me and Ricci?"
