Živé stříbro – Hart Callie (2025)

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. In a merciless desert land, there are few things a girl would not do for a glass of water. Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane knows how to keep secrets, because her life depends on it, and she can pick almost any pocket and steal water from the reservoirs of the Immortal Queen. But secrets are like knots: sooner or later, they come undone. Faced with death, Saeris inadvertently reopens a gate between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. In her world, the fae have always been creatures of myths, legends and nightmares, but she discovers that they are real. Saeris finds herself in the middle of a centuries-old conflict and, to make matters worse, is captured by Kingfisher, a handsome fae warrior with secrets and sinister intentions of his own. Saeris's alchemical magic is the answer to all his prayers. He desperately needs it to protect his people and is willing to sacrifice everything for it, including Saeris herself. Death has a name, and it is Kingfisher. His past is dark and his deeds reprehensible, but without his help Saeris will never get home. Be careful about the bargains you make, dear child. The devil is hiding in the details.
