Ep 1 Quicksilver Recap: Everything You Need Before Brimstone

Step into the quicksilver with book besties Kinsey and Karly as they dive into a quick yet thorough recap of Callie Hart's Quicksilver, book one in the Fae & Alchemy series. Perfect for listeners looking for a refresher before the release of Brimstone, the highly anticipated second book, this episode distills the key plot points, characters, and moments you need to remember.

This recap is part of the larger Brimstone Prep & Recovery season, a comprehensive series of episodes designed to get listeners caught up, keep them caught up, and recover together once Brimstone releases on November 18, 2025. Expect prep episodes covering lore, iconography, theories, and all the most exciting details shared by Callie Hart, followed by recovery episodes with first reactions, clarifications, and bold predictions about what comes next.

No matter where you are in your reread or how much you remember, this season is here so you never face fae bargains or alchemical spirals alone.

Grab your relics and prepare to dive into the Quicksilver. Sanity is not guaranteed.
