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

<p>Since Clareon was just next to Aisgarth, Lord Kieran could visit Remus discreetly. Because the land of Clareon was the home of the magi and light magic users, Lord Kieran and Cal arrived by midnight to avoid the ceremonies being held during the daytime. They were covered with dark, thick robes, hiding their faces and blending in with the shadows of the night. </p>

<p>As they made their way through the streets of Clareon, they could hear faint whispers of enchantments and see the soft glow of magical spells being cast in the distance. Lord Kieran knew that their arrival would remain unnoticed. </p>
