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

Lord Kieran couldn't contain his rage anymore. As soon as he saw Iris and his older brother disappearing in front of him, a sense of panic washed through his entirety. This complicated a lot of things in his life.

Not only did Killian turn out to be alive and was a guardian of the labyrinth, but he had also taken Iris away with him. He knew the possibility that his brother had brought her to the labyrinth and it would be impossible for him to reach Iris if she was being kept at the last level.

He couldn't reach his mate through their mating bond and for the first time since being bound to Iris Scarborough, it infuriated the demon lord that his connection with her was cut off. Iris was in a place where he couldn't easily reach her and Killian's spell was suppressing the bond between them.

'Iris, where are you now?' He tried once again to locate her, but there was no response when he tried to seek her through their bond.
