About Quicksilver
Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime with Callie Hart’s Quicksilver.
Saeris Fane spends most of her time just trying to survive, which is not always easy while living under the twin suns of Balea and Min in the Zilvaren sky. Her people are suffering under the cruel reign of Queen Madra, who forces the poorest sectors to survive on minuscule water rations and doles out severe punishments for even the smallest infractions.
Saeris has managed to remain unnoticed until she makes a rash decision to steal something valuable from the queen. Her actions trigger a series of events that will alter the fates of worlds. Unintentionally, she opens a portal to another realm and unleashes Death himself. Death—who refers to himself as Kingfisher—abducts her in an attempt to save the lives of his friends and family.
Saeris finds herself in the midst of an unending war, and Kingfisher believes she is the key to ending it. Will Saeris have to sacrifice everything, including her heart, to stop this conflict, or is all hope already lost?

Final Thoughts
Quicksilver is an absolute delight to read! From the very first page, I found myself completely absorbed in the adventures of Saeris and Kingfisher. Their dynamic and evolving relationship kept me on the edge of my seat, so much so that there were moments when I completely lost track of time and forgot I was even reading. The vivid world-building and engaging plot twists made it easy to get lost in their journey, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. It’s the kind of story that pulls you in and doesn’t let go until the very last page!
