A QUICKSILVER HEART Released from the grip of a tyrant, the Twelve Kingdoms have thrown all that touch them into chaos. As the borders open, new enemies emerge to vie for their hard-won power-and old deceptions crumble under the strain… The most talented shapeshifter of her generation, Zynda has one love in her life: freedom. The open air above her, the water before her, the sun on her skin or wings or fur-their sensual glories more than make up for her loneliness. She serves the High Queen's company well, but she can't trust her allies with her secrets, or the secrets of her people. Best that she should keep her distance, alone. Except wherever she escapes, Marskal, the Queen's quiet lieutenant, seems to find her. Solid, stubborn, and disciplined, he's no more fluid than rock.

But no matter how careful, how tender, how incendiary he is, only Zynda can know the sacrifice she must make for her people's future-and the time is drawing near…
