A Very Ancient Evil

"Very Ancient Evil" is the third part of the series “Five Brides and One Demoness.” The author recommends reading the books in the proper order: the first book “Five Brides and One Demoness,” the second “Can’t Wait to Wed.”

The series features a “dropped-in” heroine, demons, a bride selection, humor and sarcasm, and a dark plot.

Georgette, the moment she found herself in another world against her will, was forced to take on the role of assistant during the selection of brides for the local Lord of Darkness. The all-powerful one couldn’t choose a wife for himself… Not surprising—after all, the Lord has too many concerns. The dropped-in heroine had to deal not only with capricious brides, but also take on some of the Lord’s own problems: namely, an ancient castle with a vile temper and deeply buried secrets. And then Jorka couldn’t know that those secrets were deadly. Is there any chance to destroy the demon?

Meanwhile, the selection is in full swing, and the contestants are each more beautiful than the last. Every one of them is sure of success. Except Richard. It seems you should just look and choose—but in his thoughts, it keeps shifting between ancient secrets and the demoness who is trying to help him in any way. The situation is even worse: the primordial darkness has started to wake up, changing everything around it—including people. The process can’t be stopped. And the brides are gone. How can you fight Ancient Evil, once nearly destroying an entire world? Is the Cursed City ready to receive guests?

Richard, the Lord of Darkness, is already prepared to perform feats, face Ancient Evil, and meet the contenders for his hand and heart. What a man will never be ready for? Marriage. But whose? Fate will show.

Listeners will get the third book of the series—and at last, the long-awaited ending.
