The only way for Willow to defeat an oppressive faerie queen is to make six villains remember they’re obsessed with her, except . . .
One hates her.
One confuses her.
One distrusts her.
One is encased in stone.
One rejects her, and,
One thinks she’s a dangerous distraction.
The task seems impossible. To make matters worse, Avorlorna’s mortal populace is starving and fodder in a looming faerie war. If they find out she’s the reason for their suffering, she’ll be dead before the Solstice Trials begin. But that’s months away. She still has time to rewrite the realm’s fate, remind six demigods they have hearts, and find the belonging she’s always yearned for.
She has time . . . until she doesn’t.
Moments before she’s thrust into the arena, she receives a chilling warning: “One will betray you. One will try to kill you.” With alliances shifting like quicksand, Willow faces an agonizing choice: fight for the love of villains or sacrifice everything for a realm that hates her.
Trials of Dusk and Dreams is a slow-burn, spicy “why choose” dystopian-fantasy romance novel where the underdog heroine finds her inner power, the tension is hot, and the world-building is full of intrigue. It is recommended for mature readers due to language, violence, horror, and explicit sexual and dark situations.
The series
In the crumbling shadows of a fractured faerie realm, six soul-eating warriors guard a castle built on secrets—and one cursed wolf shifter dares to step inside.
Read full series description
Set in a world where beauty is a weapon and magic has a price, the Fae Devils series pulls readers into the haunted corridors of Avorlorna and the night-ruled realm of Nocturna. At its heart is Willow Nightstalk, a sharp-witted outcast bound by a devastating curse: the ugliness she feels becomes the only truth anyone sees. But when a deadly tournament offers her a chance at freedom, she aligns herself with the last creatures she ever wanted to face again—the Sluagh Guardians, fae bound together by a hive mind, infamous for their ruthlessness and the roles they once played in her undoing.
The tension in these pages crackles—between characters, between realms, and between love and power. Each Guardian carries a fractured past, and as the bonds between them and Willow deepen, loyalties are tested against prophecy, politics, and the simmering rebellion of a mortal world tired of fae rule. This is a romantasy that leans into the dark: expect slow-burn attraction, morally gray dilemmas, and an undercurrent of suspense that refuses to let go.
Through rich world-building and emotional complexity, the series explores what it means to reclaim your worth in a world that tries to erase you. It doesn’t shy away from pain, but it never forgets the power of desire, defiance, and found family.
For those drawn to atmospheric fantasy with layered romance, supernatural politics, and heroines who refuse to be broken, this journey offers a beautifully brutal descent—and maybe, just maybe, a shot at redemption.
