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

The tension between two parties was palpable as neither backed down from one another. The Red King's faction wanted nothing more than to annihilate Iris Scarborough once and for all while the Court of Nightfall was ready to strike against their enemies and was just waiting for their High Lord's cue.

However, Lord Kieran remained silent and waited for the Red King to make the first move. Because whoever reacted first and harmed the other could mean that their excuse wasn't strong enough to prove their claim that Iris Scarborough was a danger to every darkling out there.

Snow started to drop from the sky at an alarming rate, easily creating a blanket of snow that stretched for miles from the high mountains down to Greydale Town and the castle of Aisgarth. The temperature continued to drop, but the worst part was the silence between the demon lords who were seemingly waiting for the other to commit a mistake they could take advantage of.
