About this book
Quicksilver & Brimstone When a desert thief accidentally unleashes Death itself, she's transported to a frozen realm of myth and legend—only to discover that the Fae are devastatingly real and she's somehow become caught in the middle of an ancient war. After an unexpected turn of events leaves her crowned queen of a treacherous court, Saeris must navigate impossible choices: duty to her newfound people, love that defies reason, and the desperate need to protect those she left behind. This collection sweeps you through lush worldbuilding, high stakes, and a heroine who's far tougher than she ever imagined, all while uncovering the secrets that could unravel everything she's fought for.
