In this episode of Rekindling the Pages, we dive headfirst into Chapters 16–20 of Quicksilver by Callie Hart, where things go from “mildly concerning” to “emotionally unhinged” in record time. Saeris and Kingfisher continue their chaotic dance of power, mistrust, and entirely inconvenient tension — featuring slashed paintings, magically enforced bedrest (yes, that’s a thing now), one very smug fox, and a forge that’s becoming the bane of Saeris’s existence.

We break down the nightmare that opens Chapter 19, the psychological warfare disguised as flirting at dinner (Ren deserves hazard pay), and the mounting pressure of Saeris’ impossible relic-making task. There’s also talk of cursed swords, war camps, and Carrion’s… questionable spa day.
