Book Synopsis
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.

My Review
I finally decided to read Quicksilver after hearing so much about it. It was part of my A-Z 2025 Reading Challenge, so I chose to listen to the audiobook.
The first half of the book didn’t excite me. Things moved slowly, and I couldn’t stand the main male character, Kingfisher. It’s never good when every time he speaks, I feel annoyed. He came off as rude, vengeful, and in a bad mood. However, as the story went on, I learned more about Kingfisher, which helped explain his actions. Even when he had wild, intimate moments with Saeris, I felt no connection. I skipped over those parts because, honestly, I didn’t want to hear about them. This book is definitely for adults, thanks to the sex scenes. Still, I found the magic system and the world in Quicksilver very interesting.
At times, I wanted to put the book down. I kept going because friends told me not to give up. The last quarter of the book was fantastic. I wish the whole thing felt like that. It was more exciting and included history that cleared up many confusing parts from earlier.
Now I wonder if I will read the next book. The ending, with a big cliffhanger, makes me want to find out what happens next. I hope the next book feels like the last part of this one. Would this be one of my top Romantasy books? No. I found more things to dislike than things I liked. Still, that’s why there are so many books and authors. Everyone finds stories that match their taste.
