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

"That's because you haven't told me the payment for that favor yet." She retorted, feeling annoyed seeing the amused look on Killian's face. Iris didn't find any of these amusing, especially now that not only did she lose Lord Kieran, but her family as well, save for Ren.

Killian hummed and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Then what do you have in mind, dearest Iris?"

Iris hesitated for a moment, her hand clenching on her lap thinking that there was no other way for her to protect Ren but to part with him and protect him from afar.

"Instead of me, wipe away all of Ren's memories. I don't want him to lead a life full of guilt knowing that our mother and sister were killed because his magic surfaced. I'll take all the blame."

"Do you know what you are even asking, Lady Iris? You are robbing him of his own identity." Killian had never thought that Iris would ask him something like this.
