Quicksilver

Saeris Fane knows how to keep secrets. No one knows about the unfathomable powers she hides, or that she has spent her life stealing water from the immortal queen's reservoirs. In the merciless desert, a girl is ready to do anything for a sip of water. But secrets are like knots: sooner or later they are untied. When Saeris meets Death herself, she opens the gate between the worlds and finds herself in an icy land of snow. Faeries have always been a legend, a myth, a nightmare... but they are real, and Saeris finds herself at the center of an age-old conflict that could cost her life. She is the first human to set foot on the frozen mountains of Ivelia in the last millennium. And it is here that Saeris accidentally binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome faerie warrior who also has his own dark secrets and dangerous plans. He will use her alchemical magic to save his people—no matter the price he… or she—will have to pay.
