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--now has an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design. 

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...

Review:

A girl with strange powers is transported to a land of ice and snow, where she must navigate a centuries-long conflict between the Fae and humans while trying to survive and make it back home. Quicksilver is an excellent, very spicy shadow daddy-filled book. I was intrigued from the start to the end. I was not expecting it to be as spicy as it was. That’s what I get for not doing my research, but that’s ok. I loved every steamy scene, and there was plenty of plot to balance it out. I picked this up for three main reasons: on Kindle Unlimited. Hence, it dropped the audible price to a decent price, my best friend wanted to read it as well, and finally, there is a rumor it is being made into a show or movie I can’t remember which, and I always want to read the book first if I have the opportunity. I liked all the twists and turns and the mystery of the quicksilver. I was on the edge of my seat for this long story, and I loved every minute of the banter between Fisher and Saeris—a delightful read.
