In Horns of Love, Dari A. Malaunt delivers a haunting and emotionally resonant story that blends fantasy, identity, and unconventional romance into a deeply immersive journey. At its center is Diana Goldstein, a woman transformed—both physically and spiritually—after crossing into the enigmatic realm of Amelius. Now housing a fusion of two consciousnesses within her, Diana must navigate the shifting landscape of power, selfhood, and emotional vulnerability.
Amid the strangeness of this new world, Diana encounters Galaeki, a mysterious and soulful presence first found in the depths of a dungeon. Their connection grows quietly but powerfully, challenging Diana’s assumptions about love and identity. Alongside Amelius, the three become entangled in a polyamorous relationship that is as passionate as it is complex—testing the boundaries of loyalty, desire, and emotional endurance.
Malaunt handles this delicate dynamic with poetic restraint and emotional clarity, never sensationalizing the bond but exploring it as a fully realized facet of human connection. The trio’s relationship is a balancing act between autonomy and intimacy, sacrifice and trust, desire and fear—all unfolding against a backdrop of mystical forces and unfolding destinies.
What makes Horns of Love stand out is not just its rich world-building or magical intrigue, but its bold willingness to reimagine what love can look like. Through Diana’s eyes, readers are drawn into a tender, turbulent exploration of longing, identity, and what it means to belong to more than one person—and perhaps, more than one self.
Lyrical, introspective, and emotionally daring, Horns of Love invites readers to ask: Can love exist outside the lines we’ve been taught to follow—and if so, what does it cost to pursue it?
This starts off right where the first book ends. it plunges you deep into the depths of Diana's world and the troubles that surround her.
After being kidnapped, she meets Galaeki, a shapeshifting dragon who is to be a prince. Who is her mate, but she is deeply in love with Amelius, who is now the high judge.Thus begins her life as a threesome.
It seems as though Diana is surrounded by people who want to kill her because of her magic, because of who she is and because of the ones that love her.
The book, though confusing at times, offered a fantastic story of love, fantasy, and adventure. It also offered you a happy ending and a bonus ending. showing you a what if this didn't happen.

It really drew me in with its mix of identity struggles and romantic intensity. Diana is forced to face her own transformation on a deeply personal level, while caught in a relationship that challenges everything love is supposed to be. It’s an emotional and dark fantasy where nothing about feelings is simple.
Thank you so much Dari and BookSirens for letting me be a part of the team. 🌺❤️
Book two was the continuation and ending that I wanted and needed!!! It was so good and I can't believe I waited as long as I did to read it. It was such a fantastic continuation from book one. Don't forget the daring and emotionally rich fantasy that explores love beyond boundaries especially when there's three of them so it's a balancing act.
Sensual Journey of polyamorous couple (MMF) in the book called "Horns of Love".
Horns of Love is a truly unique and fascinating read! I don't think I've ever come across a heroine who embodies villainy yet remains so deeply sympathetic throughout her journey. The emotional depth and complexity of her character kept me hooked from start to finish.
The relationship between Diana, Amelius, and Galaeki was mesmerizing! It was intense, passionate, and beautifully sensual. Their dynamic was incredibly compelling, and I found myself craving more, especially after that unforgettable ending. I NEED MORE! WILL THERE BE MORE OF THEIR JOURNEYS!!?!??!? Pretty, please, tell me there is more!
While the plot itself may not be groundbreaking, the way the story unfolds makes it a remarkable sequel experience. The writing transports you into a vivid and cinematic world, where every moment feels like watching an exhilarating movie unfold in your mind.
A huge thank you to Dari for the ARC copy — I cherished every second in this world, experiencing the highs and lows alongside these incredible characters. I laughed, cried, blushed, and smiled with them, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone!
I would like to express my immense gratitude to you, dear reader, first and foremost. Recently, I received such support from y'all that I could only dream of before! For a small indie author, receiving even a single message a day about you reading my book is an invaluable experience! It makes me happy with every notification. Thank you!
And now, about the book ✨🩵🩵🩵✨ It wasn't easy for me to write it, I seemed to pour all the remnants of my soul into it, haha (just kidding, of course), but it holds a special place in my heart! I researched some topics to write it, and overall, as always, writing this book was a joyful process. But sometimes I felt drained by everything, yet I kept writing because the characters deserved to have their story told and completed. I just want to say that I fell in love with all of them, and it was hard for me to let them go. Writing about a polyamorous relationship was difficult, but I did it and I’m proud of myself!
Now Amelius, Diana and Galaeki are my fav polyamorous couple! Hehehe 💞🌌🥰
I hope you enjoy this book, and you fall in love with the characters even more, and they leave a good mark on your heart and soul, maybe even finding a special place on your bookshelf.
I embrace you all! Enjoy the book! And let's stay in touch, because there's only more books to come! Love you all!
