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

Killian said nothing and looked at the woman blankly. He didn't feel anything with her sudden revelation, although it confirmed his suspicion of what was going on at Azalea Town. No wonder the scent of saltwater and seaweed had been lingering in the air around the town. The town was almost at the center of the continent, yet it had a scent of the ocean that shouldn't belong there.

The woman led Killian to one of the private booths in the bar, ensuring no one would overhear their conversation. She sat and lowered her hood, allowing Killian to give her a good look. Just as she had claimed earlier, she had some disfigurement on her body.

The right side of her forehead was covered in scales, and her arm was covered in burn-like scars. Despite her disfigurements, she still carried herself with confidence and grace.

"I'm sorry for intruding like this. I just really need your help." She said in a depressing tone.
