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 Heloise's Death (2)

The gravity of the situation she was in hadn't quite sunk in for Iris. She looked at her mate in confusion, then saw how the black vines that sprouted from her tried to attack Lord Kieran in futile. It didn't matter if the vines weren't able to harm him, but the fact that her dark magic attempted to hurt Lord Kieran made Iris feel guilty.

"Calm down, Iris. Call to your magic and ask for it to retreat." She heard her mate say. "Don't feed on it anymore or we would have an explosion in here."

But it was easier said than done because Iris could feel her dark magic wanting to burst out of her body. She feared that if this continued, Lord Kieran and her friends would end up getting hurt.

"I can't…" She responded, trying to wrangle against her magic and get it back under control, but failed. How was she supposed to overcome her own magic if it won't even listen to her will?
