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’.

At Death’s Door (2)

The High Queen pressed her lips into a thin line and regarded his loyal general. Queen Asheera wasn't oblivious to General Orin's displeasure towards her human ward. Still, with the power of the House of Hazelwood continuing to decline over the past generation, she needed someone capable to fill the shoes as the next High Queen, one who would protect the kingdom from outsiders.

"What are you trying to say, General Orin? You want to send Iris to the Mystic Moon Woodlands and assist them in driving out the dark elves from the borders?" She asked with apparent displeasure on her tone. It wasn't a secret that the High Queen took Iris's safety as her utmost priority these past two years.

"I'm saying that this is a good opportunity for the princess to prove herself." The old general confidently met the queen's sharp gaze. "If she is to succeed you, Your Majesty. Princess Iris would need to experience and understand the weight of wearing the crown on her head."
