Trials of Dusk and Dreams
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.

Lana Pecherczyk
Lana Pecherczyk writes the kind of fantasy romance that lingers long after the final page, where morally gray heroes collide with bold, magically gifted heroines, and the stakes are always as personal as they are epic. Based in Perth, Western Australia, she crafts stories that blend fierce emotion, rich world-building, and fast-paced plots—delivering swoony, slow-burn romance wrapped in action-packed fantasy.
Before fantasy became her realm of choice, Lana was a self-professed “genre dabbler.” She experimented with everything from contemporary romance to dystopian sci-fi, sharpening her voice and discovering what set her imagination on fire: strong, flawed characters finding hope in brutal worlds. That spark grew into the Fae Guardians series, a fan-favorite saga set in a post-apocalyptic future where time-traveling fae warriors must protect the remnants of humanity. Known for its blend of sensuality, humor, and emotional grit, the series has built a fiercely loyal readership who devour each installment.
Fae Devils
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.
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.
Fae Devils consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
