Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange alchemical powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been stealing from the Undying Queen for most of her twenty-four years. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it’s bound to come undone.
When Saeris is caught stealing something she shouldn’t, she accidentally reopens a dormant gateway between realms and is whisked away to a land of ice and snow. There, she discovers that the Fae—creatures of legend and nightmare—are not only real, but they are caught up in a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
After inadvertently binding herself to a secretive and incredibly powerful Fae warrior named Kingfisher, Saeris quickly learns that he will use her secret magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details...
Trigger warning: Quicksilver describes graphic violence and adult situations, and is for readers 17+.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This romantasy epic explores how two clashing personalities, forced to work together, might become friends—or more—even within the stress of their dire situation. Saeris lives in the desperately poor zone of a caste society in a desert hellscape, stealing scrap metal to help her kid brother survive. But when one of her criminal exploits unravels, she finds herself stuck in a mystical alternate world where she must work with volatile warrior Kingfisher to get back home and save her family. Callie Hart’s plot is stacked with food for thought, as the thieving Saeris and ominously secretive Kingfisher operate in intriguing moral gray areas. And despite the fantastical world of alchemy and magic in Quicksilver, the hot-and-cold dynamic between the two leads feels eminently realistic as they trade witty barbs. For a fantasy world that knits together oh-so-human sentiments about family, romantic uncertainty, and isolation, check out Quicksilver.

Swirling twirling bending twisting to get there. All in motion and emotion, What a fun ride.
This Book Had Me in a Chokehold
Wow. Just wow. This book had me in a chokehold from page one.
It's pure adventure from the very start—no slow buildup, no waiting around for things to get good. Callie Hart drops you right into the action and never lets up. I couldn't put it down. An absolute page turner in every sense of the phrase.
This was a read full of adventure, hot steamy romance, and a Shadow Daddy that will ruin you for all other book boyfriends. You know the type—morally grey, dangerous, impossibly alluring, and somehow exactly who you want him to be despite every reason you shouldn't. The tension between the characters is off the charts, and when things finally tip over into romance? It's everything.
And the banter. THE BANTER. It had me kicking my feet and giggling out loud. The chemistry between the characters leaps off the page, and Callie Hart has this way of writing dialogue that feels effortless and sharp and so damn fun.
The world building is rich and immersive without ever bogging you down. You get swept up in this world of magic and danger and intrigue, and before you know it, hours have passed and you're still reading. It's the kind of book that makes you ignore your responsibilities, stay up too late, and then immediately want to reread it the second you finish.
I loved every second of this book. Perfect. Perfect.
One of the Best!
This is one of the best fantasy romances that I have ever read! This is actually the second time I have read it, and I loved it just as much. I’m getting ready to read the next one again, and I absolutely cannot wait for number 3! I hope Ms. Hart will continue even further than the third book, because there are so many possibilities to continue on with these characters. I have recommended this book to family and friends. It is a beautiful and wondrous read!
