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.

Combining razor-sharp banter, dark fantasy realms, and high-stakes romantic tension, the Fae & Alchemy series brought dark romance and romantasy to international bestseller lists. British author Callie Hart achieved major commercial success when the series' debut novel, Quicksilver, hit number one on both The New York Times and The Sunday Times bestseller lists in 2024. The novel became a prominent BookTok phenomenon and was optioned by Netflix in a seven-figure film adaptation deal.
As a USA Today, Sunday Times, and number one New York Times bestselling writer with more than forty published titles, Hart has built an extensive body of work across dark romance, new adult fiction, dark academia, and romantic fantasy. Her popular publications, including Quicksilver and its sequel Brimstone, highlight her skill at pairing intense emotional dynamics with immersive worldbuilding.
Born in England on December 5, 1983, Callie Hart began publishing fiction in 2014 with her Blood & Roses dark romance series. Over the past decade, she has authored over forty contemporary and dark romance books. A British expat who moved to the United States and now resides in California, she frequently writes her novels while traveling on the road, drawing creative inspiration from her surrounding environment. Hart is often found sequestered away in library corners, creating new story realms and brooding anti-heroes.
Hart considers herself an obsessive romantic who delights in throwing a dark twist into her stories. Her character-driven writing focuses on imperfect, flawed individuals whose strong personalities dictate her daily routine as she writes. Across her romantasy, dark academia, and dark romance works, she blends heart-stopping action, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, and blistering romance with high-stakes conflicts and morally complex characters.
