Once the Skies Fade

The law is clear: remarry or lose the throne.But it says nothing about love.My husband is dead, and I'm the prime suspect. As if that wasn't bad enough, the law requires I marry by the end of the season, or I lose my kingdom.I followed my heart the first time; I won't do it again.The old tournament tradition could help me select our next king while protecting my broken heart, but I never expected a close friend of my husband's family to show up to compete.I don't know if he believes the rumors and suspects me of murder, but 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.Once the Skies Fade is the second in a fantasy romance collection of interconnected stand-alones set in a magical war-torn world, where secrets have power and allies are few. This tale of love lost and fated mates brings a morally grey queen with shadowy secrets and the sarcastic general who could mend her heart...if he doesn't put a dagger in it first.
