Quicksilver by Callie Hart - Drinks & Discussion

**New members, please note that this is a women's book club. While we are supportive of everyone's love of reading, this gathering will be women only. Thank you for understanding!**

Ladies,

As always, this meeting is BYOB. I'll also send out a sign-up list for food and snacks a few weeks out from the event!

A $20 member fee to assist in covering our beautiful venue is requested by the day of the meeting — cash or Venmo. While it is acceptable to bring your payment on the day of the event, it is helpful to have it paid via Venmo in advance, if possible. Thank you all!

Our max capacity is 28 people with our space and setup, so please respond early if you'd like to join! RSVP responses are required for all attendees.

*We will be discussing our next book choices as a group in person at the Sept. 6 event, so I hope to see you all there!*

I hope our members enjoy this fun fantasy romance that hits many of our favorite tropes. Let's check out of our own world for a bit and sink into an escape that delivers magic and morally grey characters to fall for.

Your host, Kelly

Synopsis of Quicksilver (first book in the Fae & Alchemy series):

"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 re-opens 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 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."
