Key takeaways
- The first book in the Fae and Alchemy series, Quicksilver, hit the shelves in June 2024.
- It amassed over three million mentions on TikTok in its first two months of release and became a number one bestseller on Amazon.
- In December 2024, Callie Hart inked a seven-figure deal with Netflix for a movie adaptation of the books.
Book 2 was initially set for an October 2024 release date
The second book is officially dropping on 18 November 2025, as stated. On 29 January 2025, Callie Hart took to social media to reveal its title. Her Instagram post in part read:
Book 2 in the Fae and Alchemy series (Brimstone) is coming, guys! Yes, we have a title and a blurb. Shout out to Anthony Palmini for voicing the trailer as Kingfisher. You can preorder now!
The sequel's release date was delayed by almost a year, reportedly after the Hodderscape publishing company acquired Callie Hart in September 2024.
The timeline adjustment was likely vital to accommodate the new partnership and a full marketing rollout for the book. Hodderscape CFO Molly Powell said in a statement:
I am a huge fan of Quicksilver. From the first page, I was captivated by Kingfisher and Saeris' love story. Hodderscape's acquisition of the hottest fantasy sensation of the year mirrors our success so far and ambition for the future.

Saeris Fane is expected to continue looking for a way back home in the sequel
In Quicksilver Book 1, twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane comes face to face with Death himself (Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate).
This reopens a gateway between realms, transporting her to a land of ice and snow. With Fane's metal manipulation power, she must work together with Fane to save both their worlds. Despite their rocky start due to Kingfisher's attitude, they develop a strong connection.
Saeris soon discovers that he is her only ticket back home. In a December 2024 interview with Swoon magazine, Callie hinted at the romantic theme in book 2, stating:
Readers enjoy a foes-to-lovers story. It will be satisfying to watch the evolution of Kingfisher and Fane's relationship.
