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’.

Declaring War (2)

Hearing her words brought so much satisfaction towards the guardians except for Killian. His expression remained schooled, as if Iris's decision had nothing to do with him. However, as the strongest guardian of the labyrinth, he had no other choice but to follow the queen's demand. It wasn't like he hadn't anticipated something like this to happen.

Lorcan, who was assigned to collect info from Asnar, shared his report with the newly crowned queen. There was no crown on Iris's head yet, but her presence alone gave others no chance to doubt her authority.

For the past two years, many things have transpired and changed during Iris's absence. The darklings had managed to cross the borders now and could enter and leave the human realms. Prince Rupert had ascended to the throne and became the forty-fourth king of Dravial Kingdom. Things hadn't been easy during the start of his reign as more darklings had been invading their land, harming so many people.
