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’.

The court was in session, and Iris sat impassively on her throne while the rest of the guardians discussed their next course of action. As the queen of the labyrinth, Iris exuded an air of calm authority, her piercing gaze surveying each member as they presented their ideas and concerns.

On her right side, Chrysanthe stood silently. She was dressed in blue and gold, the colors of the Court of Moonlight, her regal attire accentuating her graceful presence. Opposite her was Amelia, who was dressed in white armor accentuated with gold embellishments and had a winged helmet tucked under her arm. Her stern expression mirrored her reputation as a fierce warrior, ready to defend her queen at any cost. 

"The Red King has started to crusade against us. Since the Court of Shadow was disbanded, he was forced to seek the rulers of the minor courts and convince them to join the war against us." Lorcan reported to his fellow guardians.
