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's Demand (2)

"Then tell me, Little flower, what would you do to make Midgard, as well as everyone here in Asnar, acknowledge a magus like you? What would you do once you achieve the kind of acknowledgement you are seeking?"

"How do you mean, milord?" Iris wasn't sure what her mate was trying to imply. Was Lord Kieran testing her?

"It can't just be the acknowledgement alone that you're after, Little Flower. Though you do not strike me as someone ambitious, I can feel through our mating bond that you wish to gain something."

Iris took a slow sip of her drink while she thought her answers through, wondering what her mate expected to hear from her. In the end, she opted to answer truthfully.

'"I just want to live without worries and any regrets. Is that really hard to believe? Ever since my magic resurfaced, I have been wary not to be discovered by anyone in fear of what could happen to my family because of me. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in hiding."
