this book belongs because…

the chair scene? yes please.

verdict

if someone asked me for one romantasy with a morally gray mmc, a fierce fmc, and enough tension to keep them reading until 2 a.m., this would be one of my first recommendations.

vibe

morally gray mmc. fierce fmc. fae. banter. tension. enough spice to keep things interesting.

reader fit

read this if

you love romantasy that's fast-paced, morally gray men, capable fmcs, and books where the romance is just as much fun as the fantasy.

skip this if

you want romance to take a back seat to the fantasy.

content warnings

violence, blood, torture, death, war, explicit sexual content, and trauma. these aren't exhaustive, so i'd always recommend checking the author's full content warnings before reading.

standalone + hea

not a standalone. quicksilver is book one in the fae & alchemy series, and you're absolutely going to want book two.

“Because she is moonlight. The mist that shrouds the mountains. The bite of electricity in the air before a storm. The smoke that rolls across a battlefield before the killing starts. You have no idea what she is. What she could be. You should call her Majesty.”

“Go on. Pull back. I won’t stop you,” he said. “Or you could kiss me. You could kiss me. I’ll just sit here. I won’t move a muscle.”
