Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
(Naturally, Saeris Fane does all three.)

If you want romantasy with snark, danger, portal-hopping chaos, and a gorgeous Fae warrior who is absolutely not boyfriend material (until he is)—this is your next binge. Desert survival meets ice-cold Fae war, with alchemy magic at the center and a bond that feels like a mistake… until it doesn’t.

The vibe

In a brutal desert ruled by the Undying Queen, Saeris Fane survives by staying invisible—hiding strange powers, stealing water, and keeping her secrets sharp. But when she comes face-to-face with Death himself, one wrong move cracks open a gateway between realms and drops her into Yvelia: a frozen land of snow, ice, and very-real Fae who’ve been at war for centuries.

Saeris is the first of her kind to step into Yvelia in over a thousand years—and she accidentally binds herself to Kingfisher: a gorgeous Fae warrior with a foul attitude, murky motives, and plans that definitely involve using her Alchemist magic to save his people. He might be her best shot at getting home… or the reason she never makes it out.
