Bride of the Demon Lord

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’.

Amelia's Impending Death (2)

Iris wanted to argue but found herself unable to refute Killian's words. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She was startled when Killian took her hand and tugged her toward the front door. She looked at him with confusion but didn't fail to notice how casually he touched her, like he was used to doing it.

Iris thought she should be bristling over his arrogance, but all she could think of was the fact that Killian had always looked after her from the moment they met. She might have hated him for deceiving her and forsaking Lord Kieran, but there was no doubt that he prioritized her safety.

Killian didn't release her hand when they reached the street. He simply turned and headed back the way they came from. Iris heaved a sigh of relief, knowing they would return to the estate. It wasn't like she disliked Killian's company, but being with him made her self-conscious.
