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’.

Half-Demon (1)

It had been three days and Iris had remained unconscious. The rest of their group decided to continue their travel, with Ricci volunteering to carry their lady on her back. None of them uttered a single word since that fateful night and kept their thoughts to themselves. The night was fast approaching and they needed to find a shelter soon to rest for the night.

Amelia and Chrysanthe were both worried about Iris's condition, and when Chrysanthe noticed a smear of dry blood on Iris's clothes, she asked Amelia for help and they both checked where it was coming from.

With Ricci's help, they moved the unconscious Iris next to the riverbank to cleanse her. The moon was high up in the sky, and only the sound of crickets could be heard from a distance. Oddly, Iris's black wyvern looked sick and wasn't moving and they decided to leave it in Liliana's care for a while.
