Quicksilver
von Callie Hart
From global phenomenon Callie Hart comes a Sunday Times bestselling highly addictive 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 re-opens 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 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 18+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website. READERS LOVE QUICKSILVER 'if you love romantasy then you NEED to read this book . . . this book had the PERFECT balance of romance and plot' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Kingfisher is officially my new book boyfriend as he is smoking (literally) but also made my heart melt at times' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I never wanted this book to end!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Shadow Daddies, wolves, fairies, every creature you can imagine is in this book. I have nothing but praise for the story, the writing and the plot' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The romantasy of the year! . . . This is a truly phenomenal book' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rezension von LinaI loved the first 80 % of the story, I could barely put that book down. Kingfisher is cool (and I actually couldn’t stand him in the beginning so I love that my feelings were able to be turned around like that) and Saeris is a badass FMC. There’s a plot, but the focus is really on the characters. But the last 20 % of the story is just a fever dream! What? Why? Huh?? How can the majority of the book be so good and then there’s THIS happening as a finale?
Rezension von Q. Ismat It was a little frustrating at the beginning, I didn't like Kingfisher that much at first but when you are through half of the book, it gets really exciting and the dynamics between Saeris and Fisher change. I loved Carrion though, I hope we get more of him and Fisher in Brimstone...
Rezension von JoanneThat was definitely a journey with its ups and downs. Looking back, I can understand many of the reviews here. I absolutely love the concept and the way the quicksilver is woven into the story—it’s such a fascinating element that ties everything together. However the rest of the story felt a little less polished in comparison. I especially struggled with the first quarter of the book. It was difficult to fully get into the story. The middle on the other hand completely drew me in. I had time to connect with the narrative and truly immerse myself. Toward the end though, it started to feel a bit like the beginning again - some underdeveloped plot points and rushed twists. I’m definitely curious to see where the sequel takes things.
Rezension von AlinaIch fand es toll, hab’s als Hörbuch gehört. Ich bin gespannt auf Band 2
Rezension von KelseyQuicksilver was such a fun surprise for me. The world building is immersive without being overwhelming, and it sets the stage for a story that feels both gritty and emotional. The tension runs through the entire book, not just in the plot but in the relationships, which kept me invested the whole way through. Saeris is a standout protagonist, strong and capable without falling into the “overly stubborn” or helpless tropes that can sometimes make characters frustrating. Her growth feels natural, and it’s easy to root for her. The dynamic between her and Fisher is one of the highlights of the story. Their relationship develops in a way that feels earned, adding depth without taking over the plot. Carrion brings a much-needed balance with his humor and personality, giving the story moments of levity that keep it from feeling too heavy. Overall, the book delivers a satisfying mix of character development, tension, and emotional payoff. The ending felt rewarding and tied the journey together in a way that made the whole experience worth it.
