Fae & Alchemy

Nedotýkaj sa meča. Neotáčaj kľúčom. Neotváraj bránu. V krajine plnej nemilosrdných púští nie je veľa vecí, ktoré by dievča neurobilo za pohár vody. Dvadsaťštyriročná Saeris Fane vie udržať tajomstvo. Nikto nevie o jej zvláštnych schopnostiach ani o tom, že odkedy si pamätá, kradne z vreciek a z rezervoárov Nesmrteľnej kráľovnej. Tajomstvo je však ako uzol. Skôr či neskôr sa nevyhnutne rozviaže. Keď sa Saeris ocitne tvárou v tvár samotnej smrti, nechtiac opäť otvorí bránu medzi svetmi a ocitne sa v krajine ľadu a snehu. Fae boli vždy predmetom mýtov, legiend, nočných môr... ale ukazuje sa, že sú skutoční, a Saeris skončila uprostred storočia trvajúceho konfliktu, ktorý ju môže stáť život. Ako prvý človek, ktorý za viac ako tisíc rokov vstúpil do zamrznutých hory Yvelie, sa Saeris omylom zviaže Kingfisherovi, príťažlivému bojovníkovi Fae, ktorý má svoje tajomstvá a plány. Využije jej alchymistickú mágiu, aby ochránil svoj ľud, bez ohľadu na to, čo to bude stáť jeho... alebo ju. Smrť má meno. Je to Kingfisher z Ajunskej brány. Jeho minulosť je temná. Jeho správanie je odporné. A je jedinou možnosťou, ako sa Saeris môže dostať domov. Dávaj pozor na dohody, ktoré uzatváraš, drahé dieťa. Diabol je v detailoch... N.B. Quicksilver obsahuje scény s násilím a situácie vhodné pre dospelých, preto je odporúčaný pre čitateľov od 17 rokov.

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE SERIES THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. Prepare for the #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling sequel to the runaway global phenomenon Quicksilver. Duty. Blood. Honour. Power. Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her ward - and her brother - need her back in her homeland . . . but the changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else in her stead . . . 'Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all seven Gods, do NOT crack any jokes.' Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner of horrors, but traveling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City. Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate again. A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and brimstone to save them.

From global phenomenon Callie Hart comes a Sunday Times bestselling highly addictive enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won't be able to put down! Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water. 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. 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 re-opens 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 herself 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. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details . . . N.B.
