Quicksilver – by Callie Hart
Book 1 in the Fae & Alchemy Series

“Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.”

Saeris Fane is a survivor. Desert thief, gifted alchemist, and queen of secrets—until one reckless act shatters everything. When she crosses paths with Death himself and accidentally opens a forgotten gate between worlds, Saeris is ripped from sun-scorched sand and thrown into a realm of snow, shadow… and fae.

Yvelia is a land ruled by cold magic and colder hearts. There, Saeris finds herself magically bound to Kingfisher—a brooding fae warrior with a haunted past and sharp edges of his own. He needs her power. She needs to get home. Neither of them planned for fate—or feelings—to get in the way.

Now hunted, bound by ancient forces, and caught in a conflict centuries deep, Saeris must decide who to trust, what to fight for, and how far she’s willing to go to survive… and protect the people she’s come to care for.
