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’.

Creatures of the Night (3)

"The Night King and its clansmen are known to be great shapeshifters. They could turn into anything or anyone as they wish, but that still depends on how powerful they are. The stronger a 'black knight' is, the more complex the creatures they could transform into. Of course, they could copy the appearance of some darklings, but it doesn't mean they could also wield their powers and put them to use."

Iris briefly remembered when she first met Lord Kieran in the woods near Calaren Town. He was in a massive white wolf form back then, and it never crossed her that he was one of the popular thirteen demon lords of Asnar.

"They'll make good spies for Killian then. It must be easy for him to plant spies anywhere," She commented, earning a smile from the priestess. "How about the Silver Clan, then? Killian said there had only been one Silver King in history, so what happens to their clansmen when their king dies? Do they follow them in the afterlife?"
