Once the Skies Fade

He could mend her broken heart — if he doesn't put a dagger in it first.

Everyone believes fae queen Calla murdered her husband. Bound by a spell that keeps her from clearing her name and a law requiring her to remarry, she sets deadly trials for any suitor foolish enough to come forward — until General Matthias enters the competition, secretly investigating the murder of his best friend's brother and probing the queen's shadow magic. As outside threats stalk them both, an uneasy alliance simmers into something more, and they must decide whether love can blossom amidst secrets, grief and deadly trials, or if their hearts will be their undoing.

Once the Skies Fade is the second interconnected standalone romantasy in Vanessa Rasanen's Immortal Reveries series, perfect for fans of deadly trials, morally grey female leads, and love that overcomes grief.
