Netflix Wins Rights to Fantasy Romance Novel Quicksilver

by

As a seasoned gamer and voracious reader of fantasy novels, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation upon hearing about Netflix’s acquisition of Quicksilver. Having dabbled in my fair share of role-playing games, the enemies-to-lovers trope has always been a captivating one, and with the added twist of a human rebel transported into another realm, this story seems primed to deliver an immersive experience.

Netflix has secured the rights to the popular fantasy romance novel “Quicksilver,” penned by acclaimed author Callie Hart. In a hotly contested bidding competition, Netflix emerged victorious with a multi-million dollar deal.

The upcoming project is set to be overseen by Elizabeth Cantillon from The Cantillon Company, who previously collaborated with Netflix on the movie version of Jane Austen’s Persuasion book. Additionally, Hart will take on an executive producer role. As of now, there are no writers or directors officially associated with it.

What is Quicksilver about?

First published in June, Quicksilver is a captivating enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance novel that tells the story of a human rebel who finds herself mysteriously transported into another realm. There, she encounters a dashing Fae warrior named Kingfisher. The book has garnered significant attention on TikTok, and its author, Hart, is planning to release two sequels. The second part is scheduled for release in autumn 2025.

24-year-old character named Saeris Fane has a knack for concealing secrets, particularly her unusual abilities and long history of pocket-picking and plundering from the Undying Queen’s supplies. In the synopsis provided by Deadline, it is revealed that Saeris encounters Death, leading to the reopening of a portal between dimensions and her unexpected journey to a frigid land filled with ice and snow. The Fae, once thought to be mere myths or nightmares, are discovered to be real in this strange new world. Saeris finds herself smack dab in the middle of a centuries-old conflict that could potentially cost her life. She is the first human to traverse the icy mountains of Yvelia in over a millennium. By chance, she forms a bond with Kingfisher, a Fae warrior who is both attractive and harboring his own hidden intentions. He will employ Saeris’ Alchemist powers to safeguard his people, regardless of the consequences for him or her. Kingfisher’s background is shrouded in mystery, his demeanor questionable, and he is Saeris’ only hope of returning home.
