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’.

Queen of Moonlight (1)

Chrysanthe's tears continued to stream down her face as she looked at the grave where her family was buried. With the help of Liliana, they were able to sneak their bodies from the prison jail and give them a decent burial in the outskirts of the town where no one would be able to spot them.

Never did she think that the moment she returned to Calaren Town, the news of their death would welcome her. She knew that her parents had been actively criticizing how the royal family treated them in the past, and that reason had been used as an excuse by the royal guards and the church to prosecute them along with the Scarborough family.

They had seen an opportunity to finally silence her parents, but Chrysanthe wished they would have spared her younger brother, but they didn't. Chrysanthe regretted that she hadn't done anything to save them, that they'd arrived too late to stop this tragic event from happening.
