Description

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
The global phenomenon by Callie Hart--a highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with 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.

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. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. 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 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...

    I was very excited and wary when I started this book on booktok’s recommendation. I’ll say though it was a very good read and definitely had me hooked after first 100-150 pages or so. While it does follow your standard fantasy fae novel, it’s still a great read, especially if you favor the genre like I do. Nothing groundbreaking but still worth reading. I can see myself rereading this in the future too.

    This was my first foray into the romantasy genre and I find myself at a bit of a loss. I wanted to like Quicksilver. The plot was interesting, the cover art gorgeous and it had just the right level of spice. All of these things are true, but the quality of the writing isn’t what I’m used to. There were interesting bits here and there but overall, I’ve learned that maybe I need to temper my expectations of this genre.
  • Loved it!

    This book was freaking awesome, the beginning is slow but explains key important things we need to know going forward. The build up and tension of what Saeris goes through is AMAZING. I highly recommend this to everyone.

    Like others have said, it’s a slow start BUT it gets soooo good! The few spicy scenes won’t make you sneeze, but it’ll make your eyes water…I’ve already pre-ordered the next book. Definitely read it if you love the Fae and dark brooding Fae males with stubborn human counterparts.
  • Wait for ittttt

    And then boom. Okay look the begging she’s on taking off on a run. And then yeah it builds at the 2/6-4/6th part but not without pay off. Ya gotta know the place to know what the actions mean. Last fourth is fireworks. Very much waiting for the 2nd book in this series.
  • Captivating
