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

Lorcan watched Elvine play with the faerie queen. He knew the dark elf could easily end the fight, but Elvine obviously wanted to see how powerful Queen Aleera was. The dark elf had usually spent most of her time in the labyrinth, and it was the first time she was allowed to leave Dark Abyss by their new queen.

Elvine was a dark elf, so sunlight could impact her and harm her because it was known to weaken her powers. While demons were the first creation beings made by the gods, elves were believed to be the favored race of the heavens.

They were known for their agility, intelligence, and mastery of magic. Elvine, a dark elf, possessed even greater powers than her light elf counterparts. Her affinity for darkness allowed her to manipulate shadows and cast powerful spells that could rival those of the gods. This made her a formidable opponent, even for someone as powerful as Queen Aleera.
