Publisher Description
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water.
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember.
But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.
When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.
Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.
His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details...
From USA Today bestselling author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won't be able to put down! For mature listeners.
Narrated in duet style.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This intoxicating, ambitious romantasy throws us straight into a world of desert thieves, snowbound fae, and dangerously binding magic. At its center is Saeris Fane, a scrappy, sharp-tongued survivor whose life of quiet rebellion explodes the moment she crosses paths with Death himself—better known as Kingfisher, the brooding, battle-scarred fae who’s equal parts savior and tormentor. Author Callie Hart’s world is lush with myth, magic, and menace. The friction between Saeris and Kingfisher, an enemies-to-lovers dynamic laced with biting humor, searing tension, and fan-yourself heat, pulls no punches. Their chemistry isn’t slow burn, it’s primal. Stella Bloom’s fierce narration sells Saeris’ defiance, while Anthony Palmini brings the perfect edge of danger and dark charm to her unlikely counterpart. For listeners drawn to gritty fantasy and unrestrained romance, Quicksilver is an immersive, high-voltage listen.

A smart, funny, scorching fantasy romance with incredible narration
The narrators did an amazing job bringing Quicksilver to life. Their delivery, pacing, and emotional depth made every scene feel vibrant and immersive. They truly elevated the story and made the listening experience a joy from start to finish.
Now… full honesty: the first time I read this book, I had just come off another fantasy series involving dragon riders, and I was in such a deep book hangover that nothing felt good afterward. At the time, I couldn’t understand why people loved this story: I couldn’t connect to the characters, the plot didn’t land for me, and even the romance felt distant. In that emotional haze, I wrote this book off far too quickly.
But after some recovery (and a lot of mending of my poor reader’s heart), I decided to reread it before book two releases.
Oh. My. God. I was SO WRONG the first time.
On my second read, I saw the magic everyone was talking about. This book is funny, delightfully sarcastic, and scorching hot in all the best ways. The plot is clever, engaging, and refreshingly unique. The dynamic between the main characters is electric, and the world itself feels rich and addictive once you give yourself the space to enjoy it.
I’m genuinely grateful I gave Quicksilver a second chance, because it completely won me over.
I would definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves sharp humor, sizzling chemistry, and imaginative fantasy with heart.
A wonderful listen, and a fantastic setup for the rest of the series.
Loved it!
Quicksilver was such a fun surprise! I absolutely loved it , the world-building, the magic, the tension, the romance. I flew through it and already miss the characters!
