Experience the no-holds-barred first novel in the phenomenal Fae & Alchemy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Callie Hart, featuring razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance.
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 inadvertently 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.
Customer Reviews
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!
