Eyes of Devious Burgundy

Set during a decade-long war between Angels and Demons, this first book of the Deathcaller Duet follows Assyria, a sharp-tongued, burgundy-eyed farmgirl bound in an abusive marriage. After a violent encounter with soldiers enforcing a wartime conscription decree, she flees and uses her rare magic to take on the form of her slain husband, marching off to war disguised among the men she has reason to hate. Standing at the center of the conflict is Rokath, a feared and merciless general with the power to raise the dead. A prophecy speaks of a woman who will shift the balance of power, and when Assyria's and Rokath's paths cross, a dangerous chain of events is set in motion that could sway the fate of the war.
