Brimstone by Callie Hart

Saeris Fane never wanted power. She certainly never wanted her name whispered like a prayer—or a threat—through the halls of a court built on duty, blood, honor, and control. But the crown doesn’t ask what you want. And now that Saeris has been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she’s learning the most dangerous truth of all: a queen’s life is not her own.

The weight of the realm presses down from every side. Her ward—and her brother—need her back in her homeland. Yet the very changes that made Saeris strong have also made her vulnerable. Born under blazing suns, she won’t survive the journey home through the Quicksilver. So once again, Saeris is forced to do what queens do best: make the impossible choice… and send someone else in her stead.

Enter Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate—battle-tested, unbreakable, and determined to get back to Saeris no matter what stands in his way. Unfortunately, his path runs straight through Zilvaren with Carrion Swift, a smuggler with a talent for trouble and an allergy to silence. Fisher has faced armies and nightmares, but wrangling Carrion through the narrow alleyways of the Silver City might be the thing that finally breaks him.

Because the city is full of hidden dangers, and the deeper they go, the more secrets unfold—secrets sharp enough to cut through alliances and strong enough to topple everything Saeris is trying to hold together. A darkness is falling across Yvelia. Their friends are in danger. The realm is shifting beneath their feet.

To save what matters, Saeris and Fisher will have to pass through fire and brimstone—and discover what a crown, a bond, and a destiny truly demand.
