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 reopens 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.

Previously only available on Callie Hart's website, these scenes (written from Kingfisher's point of view rather than Saeris') are now brought to life in audio by popular demand.

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.

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....

Quicksilver & the Alchemy of Pain explores why dark love stories can feel more honest than “healthy” romances—and what that says about our own history with hurt. Using the metaphor of quicksilver, the book looks at how we learn to confuse chaos with depth, obsession with intimacy, and suffering with proof that a relationship matters. Through reflective storytelling and psychological insight, it shows how certain listeners see themselves in violent, morally gray love stories not because they’re broken, but because those stories finally give language to survival patterns they already live.

Every night when the sun goes down, the song starts up again. At first, it was faint and localized, with only a few people going missing. Before long, entire neighborhoods were walking out into the night, lured by the song of the Night Choir, never to be seen again. As they joined their voices to the choir, the volume of the song grew louder each night.

Evil rules the mean streets in many guises, waiting in the shadows along the crumbled edges of the mega-cities, where murder is the only crime that leaves a trace for lesser violent acts are simply not reported. Children, the elderly, the slightly and severely damaged make up the homeless. The weak and the helpless are deemed beyond salvation and beneath contempt by all but the strongest and the cruelest who see them as a source of sustenance.
