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 Queen's Demand (3)

Later that evening, Lord Kieran wandered through the halls of his castle. He stepped out onto the balcony to enjoy the evening breeze. Unlike in the daytime where the whole Aisgarth was enveloped by the thick gray clouds obstructing the sunlight, the sky was clear at nighttime. The stars could be seen twinkling up the night sky and the moon was illuminating anything it reached on the ground.

Lord Kieran moved to the edge and leaned against the railing, his thoughts in disarray. At this hour, most of the lights in Greydale Town were out, but he could still spot a few of them from a distance. He loved this place where he was born and lived with his parents and elder brother. Aisgarth used to be teeming with life, like any other place in Asnar, and it was his fault that it ended up as it was today. Still, he would do anything within his capability to protect it and the people living within its borders.
