About this ebook

Experience the first novel in the phenomenal Fae & Alchemy trilogy from #1 New York Times and Sunday 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 or about her strange alchemical powers, or the fact that she's been stealing from the Undying Queen for most of her life. 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 gateway between realms and is whisked away to a land of ice and snow. There, she discovers that the legendary Fae are not only real, but they're caught up in a centuries-long conflict that might get her killed...

...and she has accidentally bound herself to one of them.

Kingfisher is undeniably powerful, but does that make him good? The warrior is clearly tormented by dark secrets of his own, and he will use Saeris's secret magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him ... or her.

N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.

If you have zero expectations for good writing, you might enjoy this. The only editor this book had was spellcheck! Prepare yourself for lazy worldbuilding, contradictions at every corner, and the dumbest characters I've seen in a while. Oh, and "lustasy" not romantasy. Saw no evidence of romance or chemistry. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why a publisher would pick this up and not improve it! Remove those inconsistencies, like that one moment she uses the metric system to describe the height of a wall and then fail to understand just how tall that is. Embarrassing! You've been warned.

Was interested in the book until the MMC spoke and found him whingy and annoying. Maybe I dropped this book too early, but banter between the MMC and FMC was not my cup of tea, didnt have me giggling and kicking my feet, it had me cringing.

So cool. Much appreciated. Look forward to the next. There are overly crass moments & intimacy could be better, as in, more meaningful, less brash / impetuous.
