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’s the second in the Fae Devils series, a Fae Guardians spinoff. Reading the Fae Guardians is unnecessary to enjoy this story, but it can enhance your reading experience as these characters have a past. It is recommended for mature readers due to language, violence, horror, and explicit sexual and dark situations.
It feels like a strange dream inside Legion’s study. Only a week ago, my problems revolved around avoiding babysitting duties and deciding which house to rob next. Now, I’m back in the middle of a war, caught between politics. The only difference is no one is using me as a tool. And I am mated to six demigods. Bodin’s possessive reaction proves our connection is trying to push through Titania’s enchantment.
He glares at me with expressive eyes, yet the rest of him is hard and unyielding. I should be angry—he shoved Briar. But as I look into his eyes and find vulnerability beneath the violence, I want to know why he tries to hide it. What happened in his very long life that shaped his personality? It’s hard to believe this reaction is born of Titania’s recent false narrative. It’s something else, something deeply experienced.
Emrys hasn’t moved an inch since the door closed. His rusty-colored eyes are always filled with so much bitterness. Styx lurks in the shadows between the bookcases, still pretending to read. Why do they distrust me so much? This version of them doesn’t even know me. So what did the other queens do to them?
And then there is Legion. He watches me, patiently, steadily. He is the First, the Knight Commander. He is too beautiful, enigmatic, and sophisticated to go unnoticed on a battlefield. The buttons on his double-breasted silk waistcoat accentuate his broad shoulders and athletic frame. His black silk shirt sleeves are rolled casually to his elbows, revealing muscular forearms as they rest on his desk. Long, silken hair falls from a widow’s peak. His skin is so pale and luminous that it reminds me of carved crystal. It was he who reached for me on that battlefield and locked elegant fingers around my ankle.
He who called me nothing.
And I called them monsters.
But I don’t think that makes Legion appear so sad and haunted. He probably doesn’t even remember now that Fox is gone. No, he seems to be the type who cannot be shaken from his foundations. Once he wants something, he takes it. He does not care if he must wait eons for the right time or opportunity. His hidden torment comes from somewhere else, and I want to know where. I want to banish it from his eyes so he is free to smile.
Just once.

Lana does it again! This second book is action packed and so well written that I couldn’t help but get sucked into Avolorna and all that comes with it. I can honestly say that I laughed, I cried, I was concerned for main characters and side characters alike! Be warned that Lana gives us another cliffhanger ending so if you’re not into that, maybe wait until the next book comes out but I gotta tell you… this is a book you will want to read and re-read! Ah and the spice… my goodness… be prepared!
