The Quicksilver Court
{5/5} “We crossed the bridge, pacing its stones between overlapping pools of light as the river rushed in darkness beneath us. There was no point trying to be stealthy in our approach; my grandmother could sense my presence. As both a Demon and a Witch Lord, she could kill us in the blink of an eye if she chose.”
The Quicksilver Court by Melissa Caruso, published in 2021
Ryx’s grandmother is now the demon Discord. And the demon Hunger is loose to. The Serene Empire is moving weapons to the border with Morgrain in order to attack. Ryx discovers that the Serene Empire has a magical device designed to kill everything in a domain — and there’s only one thing that could power it to accomplish that.
This is the sequel to The Obsidian Tower.
It’s about one demon who is your friend and four who are trying to cause havoc.
The book contains a stunning revelation, but it isn’t just for shock value — it’s incorporated masterfully into the story.*
I’ve read 5 books by Caruso. I will read at least 1 more.
Spoiler
*The main character is actually partially a demon.
