Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy #1) by Callie Hart

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won’t be able to put down!

Do not touch the sword.

Do not turn the key.

Do not open the gate.

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

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.

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 herself 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...

N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.

Fae & Alchemy

Step into a world where magic pulses through the veins of every living creature, and secrets simmer beneath the surface of every icy landscape. Fae & Alchemy is a dark, captivating series that blends high-stakes fantasy with an irresistible dose of forbidden romance. The story follows Saeris Fane, a 24-year-old woman with hidden, dangerous powers. When she unwittingly opens a portal to another realm, she is thrust into the frozen, mysterious land of the Fae—an ancient race that has its own set of rules and an even darker past.

In this realm, she meets Kingfisher, a brooding and enigmatic Fae warrior whose presence shakes the very foundation of everything she thought she knew about magic, power, and loyalty. Their relationship is complicated, fierce, and fraught with tension, as they must navigate a web of deceit, ancient prophecies, and the ever-present pull of an alchemical bond between them. As they delve deeper into the mysteries of the Fae world, the boundaries of power and trust blur, and Saeris must choose between her growing feelings for Kingfisher and the devastating consequences that could follow their union.

The Fae & Alchemy series weaves a world rich in alchemical mysteries, intense magic, and the kind of slow-burn romance that fans of dark fantasy will adore. With characters who aren't afraid to confront their deepest fears and desires, each installment unravels a little more of the complex and dangerous world Saeris and Kingfisher must navigate. Set against a backdrop of stark beauty and untold peril, their story pulls readers in with every page.

In Quicksilver, the first book in the series, readers are introduced to a realm where survival isn't just about power—it's about understanding a deadly, intricate web of magic, politics, and love. As the series progresses, Saeris and Kingfisher's story grows more intense, more dangerous, and more addictive.

Fans of dark, atmospheric tales with rich world-building and simmering chemistry will find themselves completely entranced by Fae & Alchemy. With its mix of magic, passion, and danger, this series promises to be the kind of story that readers can't put down—one where every twist and turn leaves you wanting more.
