What Is Quicksilver?

Quicksilver is an enemies-to-lovers dark romantasy novel that is highly addicting. Searis Fane has hidden her powers for her entire twenty-four years of life. She’s a pro at pick-pocketing and stealing from the Undying Queen. But when Saeris faces death himself, she ends up reopening a gate between realms. She goes from the dry desert — desperate for water — to a cold land full of snow and ice.

She quickly realizes the Fae are very real — contrary to her belief — and she’s landed in a fight that’s lasted for centuries. She walks her path through the frozen Yvelia mountains and accidentally binds herself to Kingfisher, a very handsome Fae warrior. He uses her powers to protect his people at all costs — he is Death. Saeris has to go with him to find her way back home, but she needs to be careful of what she’s getting herself into. The devil is in the details.

There’s often controversy on whether or not the movie is as good as the book. In my humble opinion, the book is usually better. Feel free to disagree, but it’s hard to capture the essence of a book exactly how the author intended it to be! A novel that’s been perfectly crafted, edited, re-edited, and read by thousands, is fragile. Some fans are cautious about the casting and who will be a perfect fit to tell this story through the screen.
