Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is an expert at keeping secrets. No one knows about her mysterious powers or that she's been secretly picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s vast reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In a land ravaged by an unforgiving desert, there’s little a girl won’t do for a simple glass of water. But secrets are like knots—they always unravel eventually.

When Saeris crosses paths with Death himself, she unknowingly reopens a long-forgotten gateway between realms and is suddenly transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae, once thought to be mere myths and nightmares, are real—and Saeris has landed right in the middle of an ancient war that could cost her everything.

As the first of her kind to set foot in the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris makes a critical mistake: she binds herself to Kingfisher, a brooding, dangerous Fae warrior with his own dark secrets. Kingfisher, leader of the Ajun Gate, has his own hidden motives, and he will use Saeris’ unique Alchemist magic to protect his kingdom, no matter the cost to her or him.

Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.

His past is shrouded in darkness. His attitude is worse than cold steel. And he’s the only chance Saeris has of finding her way home.

But be careful of the deals you make, child… The devil is in the details.
