About this book
Saeris Fane is a thief surviving in a brutal, drought-stricken desert, hiding a volatile secret: she possesses latent, dangerous alchemical powers. Her precarious existence shatters when a desperate heist goes wrong, leading her to cross paths with Death himself. In an instant, she is ripped from the scorching sands and thrust into the glacial, lethal realm of Yvelia—a land ruled by the Fae, beings she previously dismissed as mere folklore.
Trapped in a world of ice and ancient, blood-soaked politics, Saeris finds herself inextricably bound to Kingfisher, a formidable Fae warrior with a razor-sharp tongue and a dark, mysterious agenda. To survive, Saeris must rely on the very man who views her as a tool to be exploited. As they navigate a treacherous landscape of war and shifting loyalties, an intense, volatile attraction sparks between them, complicating their fragile alliance.
Kingfisher needs her magic to save his people, while Saeris needs him to find a way home. In a realm where every bargain carries a deadly price, the two must decide if their growing connection is a lifeline or the ultimate trap. Their survival depends on navigating a lethal power struggle where the line between enemy and lover blurs.

"Book Review:Quicksilver by Callie Hart Quicksilver is a gripping Enemies-to-lovers romantasy that follows Saeris Fane, a 24 year old who will do almost anything for a cup of water, and Kingfisher who is too handsome for Death himself. The story unfolds as Saeris unbeknownst to her abilities opens the gateways between worlds and gets trapped with kingfisher and must help him win a war to find her way home, leading to a story filled with self-discovery of a badass FMC, fun side characters and delicious banter. What I Liked: • I liked that the world building was easy to digest for the first part of the book. Leaving me to get trapped in the world and not want to put the book down. • Saeris is such a great character. I enjoyed how she takes no shit and felt relatable throughout the story. • But the real winning character is Carrion. He is so full of himself and I love it. And he is hilarious and such a shameless flirt but that is his charm. I can’t wait to see what happens to him in book two. What I Didn’t Like: • Now for what I didn’t like, unfortunately I didn’t like was the moment our two MC got together. I felt as if I might have missed something in how one moment they are bickering and the next they are having sex. I know they had some scenes earlier in the book that they kissed but where is the tension after that kiss and then them giving in. It was almost too easy for them to get together. Callie’s writing is captivating, and the characters are well- developed while staying relatable. The plot is predictable in some parts but keeps you satisfied, keeping readers hooked with every twist and turn especially within the last 100 pages. Overall,Quicksilver is perfect for readers who enjoy morally gray characters, witty side charters and a female character who is stuck in the middle of it all. Rating: ★★★★★ My rating system: ★- DNF ★★- Finished but it was a struggle ★★★- It was a good book but probably would not read again ★★★★- It was good and I would read it again ★★★★★- Brain shattering and I need every copy made if this book ["

Andersen HallGripping read!
"Quicksilver was such a gripping read! I genuinely could not put it down. The writing style flows so smoothly and the world-building feels effortless. Saeris completely stole my heart. She’s sharp, stubborn, witty, and downright unstoppable. And Kingfisher? WHEW. The male is a grumpy, territorial menace in the best way possible. Possessive, loyal, self-sacrificing… basically a walking checklist of every trait I love in an MMC. The side characters added so much charm (Carrion made me laugh out loud more than once), though I didn’t totally understand the extreme obsession everyone seems to have with him… even if he did deliver a jaw-dropping surprise. My only real gripe: the middle dragged a bit, and then the last 50 pages dumped twist after twist after twist, only to stop just short of a full cliffhanger. It felt like the pacing could’ve been balanced better. Still, the heart, the humor, the characters, and the chemistry completely carried this story. A very solid, fun 4-star read that left me desperate for the next one. ["

SassyyetClassyTNCouldn’t put it down, A must read!
"Random find on social media and I laughed at the comments and connection made towards Fisher. Definitely not like anything I would read but I took a chance. I love all of the back story and information. Definitely going to be a wonderful series! The humor with the characters was wonderful! The connection of Fisher and Saeris the author captured perfectly! I loved that Saeris wasn’t a weak female and was allowed to proved her worth. If I had to compare this book to other series I’ve read over the years it would be the Adult version of Twilight smashed with Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. I just ordered the 2nd book. ["

"I started writing this review before finishing the book. I’m about 70% through, and honestly? This might just be better than some of SJM’s works. If this book doesn’t gather a cult following, I’ll be shook. That said, I’m gonna stop writing now because there’s a chance I’ll eat my words. But I’m leaving this here so future me can look back and either feel great or embarrassed. — Okay, I’m done. And guess what? I stand by what I said. Some of you might raise an eyebrow (or both) at this review, but I thought this book was fantastic. Let’s start with the writing. It was sharp and clean—no fluff, no info-dumps, and yet I never felt like I was missing details. Sure, there were a few scenes I initially thought we could’ve skipped, but they ended up being surprisingly relevant by the end. The magic system? Not groundbreaking, but the layers of lore and complexity to the story made it feel fresh and thrilling—like I was back in an SJM world (I find it weird that I’m using her for reference and not something like Tolkien). The world-building? Chef’s kiss. At first, I was worried we’d be stuck in the initial setting, but then—boom—a major turning point. The world expands, the magic ramps up, and the story becomes exponentially better. Visualizing the settings and characters was effortless, and it was refreshing to be so fully immersed again. Now, let’s talk characters. The female protagonist? I’ll admit, I thought she was a walking bad decision at the start. But her growth over the course of the book was chef’s kiss. It was so refreshing to see a main character actually think things through for a change. The male lead? A little too intense at times, sure. I can see where he might be divisive. But by the end, his motivations were laid out so well that I couldn’t help but appreciate how his actions tied into the overall story. Oh, and the spicy scenes? Let’s just say I had to take hydration breaks. This book has it all: jaw-dropping twists, great fast-paced writing, a richly detailed world, compelling characters, and magic that’s an absolute blast to experience. Give me the sequel now. PS. I just checked ughhhhhhhh OCTOBER!!? REALLY?!?!? ["
