After surviving the brutal war camp and unraveling the cruel truths at the heart of Demon society, Assyria emerges not just as Rokath’s mate—but as a spark lit beneath centuries of carefully shaped stories.
Assyria, the Imposter. A symbol of change. A symbol of hope.
Veiled priestesses now bear swords. Forgotten daughters now wield power. And the army that once scorned Assyria must learn to kneel for her.
But not everyone is ready to surrender.
As Rokath struggles to hold a crumbling alliance together, old wounds crack open and long-buried truths rise. The three cousins who once shaped an obedient realm are now on the brink of war with one another.
With the Angels preparing for another attack and the Demons fracturing from within, Rokath and Assyria must become more than lovers, more than leaders—they must become legends.
Horns of Wicked Ebony is the second book in the Deathcaller Duet, an enemies to lovers, banter-filled high dark fantasy romance with a vicious, dangerous MMC and a fiery FMC.

The story of the Halalhivo is a fascinating one. Lacey Lehotzky melds an intricate magic system with the political dealings of Angels and Demons and the expected outcome? Not likely. Full of gruesome scenery, spicy romance, and plenty of twists and turns along the way, this duology captured my imagination in a whole new way. ) One person found this helpful

So far I read the demon story so that 2 out of 4 and I enjoyed them. I actually like this one more and I think it had to do with all the women power and women rising and being the important. The bond between the Fmc and mmc was very spicy and loving and I felt it for them lol. I haven’t decided if I want to read the angel side but I’m curious to see if it’s angel and angel or is it the angel demon mates in this book. But I feel like you can give this a chance )

This sequel took a sharp nose dive compared to the first book. I understand the author is trying to achieve a bigger over arching plot, however I don’t think she succeeded. There are plot holes galore. The ending was so wrapped so fast I had to re-read it. It feels like there is a whole chapter or more missing. The spice scenes were cut and paste of each other and kind of gave me the ick. The inner monologues of the main characters were also incredibly repetitive. I do not see myself continuing...

I went straight from Eyes of Devious Burgundy into this and I was extremely satisfied. This duet is part of a larger series so I will start this by saying it hangs on a huge cliff hanger but it closes out the FMC and the MMCs relationship which I was happy with. Our FMC continues her character arc and grows stronger and more sure of her self while our MMC is looking further into himself and coming to terms he’s not just a hollow killing machine. The spice stays spicy but i definitely feel like...
