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’.

Eighth Guardian (1)

The members of the Court of Nightfall have no choice but to accept their High Lord's decision. Those who wanted to imprison Iris held their tongue, knowing that Lord Kieran wouldn't hesitate to end their lives. They would need to protect Iris Scarborough's honor and resist the influence of the Court of Shadows over their own court.

After meeting his subjects, Lord Kieran went to his study and discussed the next course of plans with his courtiers. Aiden had already delivered his initial report on his investigation and they knew by now that it was Cal, who had allowed Queen Heloise to enter the private gardens in the castle.

"Do you have a good reason to defend yourself, Cal?" Lord Kieran eyed his right-hand man.

While there was no doubt that Cal was a capable subordinate, his prejudice against Iris had cost him to lose his lord's trust completely.
