Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
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. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. 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 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.

This one completely took over my life in the best way. From the very beginning I was hooked and could not stop listening. The audiobook made everything even more immersive and I just kept needing one more chapter.
I did figure out part of the twist early on, but that didn’t take away from the experience at all. There was still another layer to it that surprised me and fit perfectly with everything going on. Watching everything unfold felt so smooth and natural, like every piece was exactly where it needed to be.
The story itself is one of those rare finds where you just know it’s something special. The kind you come across after reading so many others and suddenly nothing else compares. It pulls you in, refuses to let go, and leaves you thinking about it long after you finish.
And that ending? Absolutely phenomenal. I’m already jumping into the next book because there is no way I’m waiting after that.
