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 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, and Saeris has landed herself right 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...
From USA Today bestselling author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won't be able to stop listening to! For mature listeners.
Narrated in duet style.

My Review 5 STARS
I may have gotten to this book a little late, but at least i have read it before the second book in the series have been released. I have seen this book talked about all over TikTok and Facebook so I thought that I should give it a try. I was NOT disappointed.
Saeris lives in a poverty stricken district where even water is rationed so badly that the water they get is filter from others waste and they only get a small amount of ounces a week. She looks after her younger brother and works part time in the forge with a man that'd the best he could for her and her brother.
But Saeris has a secret, metal talks to her and with her light fingers to get them by, finds herself in trouble and taken to the palace where her whole world suddenly changes.
Kingfisher has his own demons and Saeris is through into his world when she goes through the Quicksilver, however not only is she a very strong character, she is not afraid of hard work and does her best for those around her.
I loved the strength of this character, the world building and the relationships between all of the characters, especially between Saeris and Kingfisher.
There are a few twists and turns that I did not see coming and I really cannot wait to see what happens in book two and if it can top this first book.
A book that I would certainly recommend.
