Quicksilver

Saeris Fane has survived the brutal, water-starved city of Zilvaren by stealing, scheming, and keeping her head down — until the night she accidentally opens a portal and is dragged into a frozen, war-torn fae realm on the other side. There she becomes entangled with Kingfisher, a dangerous and infuriating fae warrior with secrets of his own, and discovers that her rare talent with quicksilver may be the key to a conflict far larger than her own survival.

Torn between getting home and the pull of a world — and a man — she was never meant to know, Saeris finds herself at the center of ancient magic, court intrigue, and a slow-burning, combative attraction.

The first book in Callie Hart's Fae & Alchemy series is a lush, steamy romantasy of portals, enemies, and hard-won trust.
