Quicksilver: Deluxe Edition by Callie Hart (Hardback)

Saeris Fane survives in a harsh desert where water is scarce and every choice carries weight. She hides her unusual abilities and keeps her life moving through quick hands and quiet steps. Her small acts of theft from the Queen’s reserves help her get by, but each risk adds pressure she can no longer ignore. One mistake brings her face-to-face with a force she never expected, and the world she knows collapses in an instant.

Dragged through a gateway into a frozen land far from home, Saeris discovers that the stories she grew up hearing were grounded in truth. The Fae exist, and their world holds its own dangers. Her sudden arrival places her in the centre of a long conflict, and her presence is noticed by those who rule these mountains.

A binding she never intended links her fate to Kingfisher, a Fae warrior with a past he refuses to share. Saeris must decide how much she can trust him while working out her place in a realm that views her as a threat. Her skills and her magic draw attention from all sides, and each step forward brings new questions about her role in a struggle that began long before she was born.

Saeris wants to return home, but every choice pushes her deeper into a path she never planned to walk.
