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’.

She cannot fail. Iris reminded herself. This was the only chance they had to save Ricci's life from death. Even if it meant that she would need to sacrifice all the light magic she had and bear the heavenly punishment for the rest of her life, Iris decided to endure all of it for Ricci's sake.

Previously, Iris wasn't sure why Melissa had taught her this spell. It had never occurred to her that there would come a day that she would use it. She had thought it was like she was cheating death by taking advantage of this spell. She also surmised that as long as she and her friends were under the protection of a powerful demon lord such as Queen Asheera and Lord Kieran, there would be no reason for her to cast such a powerful spell.

Iris realized now how wrong she was. She had been naive to believe that as long as she avoided confrontation and stayed out of fights with the darklings, she would be able to avoid death.
