Description

This #1 New York Times bestseller is 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... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design.  

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.

    Not very good in the first half but gets better. Sticks with you.
  • Quicksilver is basically a weird, slimy, emotional hug I DID NOT see coming

    A darkly charming story full of grotesque magic, unexpected softness, and one of the most lovable chaotic men ever written. The moment he tells Saeirs he’s about to “introduce her to the seven gods” lives rent-free in my mind. I wasn’t ready. NO ONE is ready. The level of dark, confident energy Devastating. Completely illegal. Bless Kingfisher for that moment. And Carrion… listen. I LOVE that adorable disaster. He’s funny without trying, brave without meaning to be, and unintentionally soft in the best way. Carrion owns my whole heart, accidentally.
  • So good…

    I laughed, I cried, I got incredibly turned on, and I fell in love! This one is so good. If you’re thinking about reading it, just do. I’m really sad I’m done reading it because it was an absolute pleasure! Thank you for this story!
  • A must Read! I could not put this book down!

    Omg I could not out this book down! Every moment I had free, I was reading this to find out what would happened next. The character development is grade A, and the evolution of Saeris Fae and King Fisher is full of drama, quick quips, intoxicating lust, love and loyalty.

    Callie Hart is a great storyteller. I’ve read an indecent amount of romantasy, and Quicksilver is one of the absolute best. Can’t wait for Brimstone!

    This was a great story with lots of detail and plot. The characters are solid and interesting. The use of the F…word over and over was tediously too much. I wish the writer could have been more inventive with her phrasing when it came to those sentences. Otherwise I would have given it a 5.
  • 6 Stars!
