Experience the no-holds-barred first novel in the phenomenal Fae & Alchemy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Callie Hart, featuring 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.

Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange alchemical powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been stealing from the Undying Queen for most of her twenty-four years. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it’s bound to come undone.

When Saeris is caught stealing something she shouldn’t, she accidentally reopens a dormant gateway between realms and is whisked away to a land of ice and snow. There, she discovers that the Fae—creatures of legend and nightmare—are not only real, but they are caught up in a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

After inadvertently binding herself to a secretive and incredibly powerful Fae warrior named Kingfisher, Saeris quickly learns that he will use her secret magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... 

Trigger warning: Quicksilver describes graphic violence and adult situations, and is for readers 17+.

  • Rough in the early-mid, then gets very good

    A very good book burdened by a few hundred pages of excruciatingly bad “enemies” nonsense after the MC goes through the portal. It’s worth powering through that, because it really does pick up and turn into an excellent fantasy novel once she’s allowed to be competent again and work through her issues with the male lead.

  • This Book Had Me in a Chokehold

    Wow. Just wow. This book had me in a chokehold from page one. It's pure adventure from the very start—no slow buildup, no waiting around for things to get good. Callie Hart drops you right into the action and never lets up. I couldn't put it down. An absolute page turner in every sense of the phrase. This was a read full of adventure, hot steamy romance, and a Shadow Daddy that will ruin you for all other book boyfriends. You know the type—morally grey, dangerous, impossibly alluring, and somehow exactly who you want him to be despite every reason you shouldn't. The tension between the characters is off the charts, and when things finally tip over into romance? It's everything. And the banter. THE BANTER. It had me kicking my feet and giggling out loud. The chemistry between the characters leaps off the page, and Callie Hart has this way of writing dialogue that feels effortless and sharp and so damn fun. The world building is rich and immersive without ever bogging you down. You get swept up in this world of magic and danger and intrigue, and before you know it, hours have passed and you're still reading. It's the kind of book that makes you ignore your responsibilities, stay up too late, and then immediately want to reread it the second you finish. I loved every second of this book. Perfect. Perfect.

    This is one of the best fantasy romances that I have ever read! This is actually the second time I have read it, and I loved it just as much. I’m getting ready to read the next one again, and I absolutely cannot wait for number 3! I hope Ms. Hart will continue even further than the third book, because there are so many possibilities to continue on with these characters. I have recommended this book to family and friends. It is a beautiful and wondrous read!
