Quicksilver

Saeris Fane is a young thief with hidden powers, surviving in an unforgiving desert land ruled by the Undying Queen where water is scarce and stealing is a way of life. After an encounter with a mysterious figure, she reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a frozen land inhabited by the Fae, a people long thought to be myth. Caught in the middle of a centuries-old conflict, she inadvertently binds herself to Kingfisher, a Fae warrior with his own secrets and agendas who intends to use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people. The first book in the Fae & Alchemy series follows Saeris as she navigates a hostile new world and her uneasy connection to the warrior who may be her only way home.
