Twelve males. Four trials. One chance to save my crown.
My husband is dead, and I'm the prime suspect. It gets worse. The law requires I marry by the end of the season or give up my throne.
I followed my heart once; I can't risk it again.
An old tradition could help select our next king while protecting my broken heart, but the last male I expect shows up to compete. Whether he believes the rumors or not, it's clear someone wants him out of the competition and me off the throne.
Caught in a tangled web of political games and deadly secrets, I must choose between following my wounded heart and keeping my crown...before more end up dead.
The Bachelorette meets the Hunger Games in Once the Skies Fade, the second in a fantasy romance series of interconnected standalones. This tale of love after loss and fated mates brings a morally grey queen with shadow magic and the sarcastic general who could mend her heart...if he doesn't put a dagger in it first.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"...a beautiful reminder that the only thing more powerful than grief is love." - Casey L. Bond, author of Where Oceans Burn
"Gut wrenchingly romantic and set in a darker, richly imagined fantasy world that is achingly sexy, the second in Rasanen's Immortal Reveries series will have you shouting, 'Long live the Shadow Queen!'" - Emily S. Bond, Huffpost Books Contributor
"...a bingeworthy romantasy that puts refreshing spins on well-loved tropes. It is a wonderful pairing of escapism and themes that will both help readers feel seen and also find a bit of healing alongside Calla." - Rachel L. Schade, author of Castle of Dusk and Shadows
"I found myself on the edge of my seat more than once, frantically reading to find out what happened next. These characters are multifaceted in a way that radiates authenticity." - Lauren M. Leasure, author of The Sin of Saints
