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 didn't rush off to meet Queen Heloise. Instead, he took his time and helped to get Iris fed first before anything else. He accompanied Iris during her meal though he didn't join her to eat, but had a drink instead. He also summoned her friends to join them for lunch and witnessed how thrilled and relieved Iris had been to see them safe.

"How are you feeling, Iris? Are you sure you don't need to stay on your bed?" Amelia asked. She gave Lord Kieran a quick look and saw that he was at ease. She wasn't sure what to feel about Iris becoming this demon lord's lover, but Amelia surmised that she really didn't have any say on it. She could only hope that things would go well between him and Iris.

"I'm fine, Amelia. I think three days of sleep is more than enough for a human like me." Iris smiled, unbothered by the fact that she was a mere human with no magic that could protect her now.
