Quicksilver by Callie Hart: A Thrilling Fantasy Adventure
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
In the unforgiving desert, survival is everything—and a glass of water is worth more than gold.
Saeris Fane, a 24-year-old thief with a dangerous secret, has been walking the razor's edge for as long as she can remember. By day, she blends into the harsh landscape of her desert homeland. By night, she uses her mysterious powers to steal from the Undying Queen's reservoirs, ensuring her survival while keeping her true nature hidden. But secrets, like tightly wound knots, eventually unravel.
When Saeris encounters Death himself, she unwittingly reopens a gateway between realms, catapulting her into the icy mountains of Yvelia. Here, the legends of the Fae come to life—beautiful, deadly, and entangled in a centuries-old conflict that could claim her life.
As the first human to set foot in Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris’s presence causes a ripple effect. Her accidental bond with Kingfisher, a striking and enigmatic Fae warrior, only complicates matters. Kingfisher, haunted by his own secrets and a troubled past, sees Saeris as a means to an end. He plans to use her rare Alchemist’s magic to protect his people—no matter the cost to either of them.
Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.
With his murky past and sharp demeanor, Kingfisher is Saeris's only hope of navigating the perilous world of the Fae and finding a way home. But trust is a fragile thing, and deals with the Fae are never as simple as they seem.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details...
