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 of Nevernight (1)

It didn't matter to Lord Kieran whether Iris regained her magic or became a normal human for the rest of her life, as long as she would return to him safely. He knew how desperate she'd been these past weeks, forcing herself to improve her control on her seemingly wild and unstable magic.

Lord Kieran retrieved his unconscious mate on the ground. What was left in his rotten heart ached seeing Iris's state and he hated that he could do nothing to lessen her pain. However, he couldn't blame her for making such a decision - to save Ricci's life - since he'd been in the same situation in the past. The only difference was that he failed to bring his mother back to life.

"Make sure no one finds out what happened here." He told Aiden and Melissa. "We wouldn't want to give anyone another reason to go after Iris. It's already enough that the Red King and the other demon lords want her dead."
