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

"Chrys, are Master Killian and Iris fighting?" Ryn asked Chrysanthe one afternoon as they sat in an open meadow.

They were on a break as Iris and Asra were busy training in swordsmanship on the other side of the forest. Killian and Lorcan had gone to survey the path ahead of them to ensure there was no ambush waiting for them. Iris had chosen this spot for them, and Chrysanthe could see why.

The meadow was like a sea of vibrant green, dotted with wildflowers of all colors. The grass swayed gently in the breeze, and sunlight filtered through the trees, creating a dappled effect on the ground. The air is fresh and clean, carrying the hint of rain from earlier in the day.

The grass felt soft and cool against her skin as they sat on the ground. There was a gentle warmth from the sun on their faces and a slight chill in the air as night approached, making them pull their cloaks tighter around their bodies.
