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’.

City of Dawn (2)

Much to Iris's surprise, Lord Kieran said nothing and muttered a simple thanks to the two guards, before taking her hand away and entering the city together. Their hoods were protecting them from the sun that had already ascended the sky, and Iris could only watch their twined hands and the demon lord led her to a small diner.

Lord Kieran ordered a meal for them while Iris couldn't help but take a look at their surroundings. As she looked around, she noticed that there were many mortal humans here mingling with the darklings.

"So it's true that not all humans left Asnar." She mumbled next to her mate.

"Midgard isn't big enough to house all the humans in the world." Lord Kieran said, "but as you can see, these humans are able to adapt well in the world of the darklings and are accustomed to witnessing and using magic in their daily lives."
