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’.

Cryptic Oracle (1)

"Silver City was completely decimated," Cal informed his high lord. "There were no survivors from the attack." 

Lord Kieran shut his eyes, feeling troubled upon hearing the news. Aisgarth was now teeming with life, so different from the land he left upon his death. The warm breeze that touched his face wasn't enough to dispel the heaviness in his heart. The woman he loved had changed and now became the enemy of the world. 

Without a doubt, Iris led the Court of Nevernight, which was responsible for destroying the old city. She might have been planning to go there but decided to go to Aisgarth to collect Amelia. As he stood there, memories of their past love flooded his mind, making it even harder to accept the truth. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Iris—what had turned her into this person who would bring chaos and destruction to a once peaceful city.
