Step into the quicksilver with book besties, Hannah, Kinsey, and Karly as they begin the Brimstone Prep & Recovery season, dedicated to Callie Hart's Fae & Alchemy series. With Brimstone releasing on November 18, 2025, the hosts guide listeners through every stage of the alchemical journey: prep, spiral, and recovery!

First, they share what to expect from the prep episodes: a Quicksilver recap, in-depth discussions of key characters and quotes, theory spirals, and a lore and iconography breakdown. The season will also include a curated look at the most exciting details Callie Hart has revealed about Brimstone in interviews and bonus content.

Next, they outline plans for the recovery episodes, where they will share initial reactions, clarify tricky lore or plot twists, and develop fresh theories about what could come next!

The hosts also explain why Brimstone coverage is happening before Burn of the Everflame and assure listeners that a Burn Prep & Recovery season is still on the horizon.

Finally, they spotlight The Ascended by Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, the first in an interconnected duology set within the Esprithean Trilogy universe. Episodes on The Ascended will drop in between the prep and recovery portions of the Brimstone season.

This trailer sets the foundation for a season that will get listeners caught up, keep them caught up, and ensure no one has to navigate fae bargains or alchemical spirals alone!

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

*All episodes include spoilers for the entirety of Quicksilver*
