From the moment he takes his first breath, Quicksilver is unconditionally loved by his fairy family.

SWORD AND SORCERY! SOME GUYS HAVE IT ALL... Geoffrey Gallowglass, the Lord High Warlock’s second son, has only two passions in life: war and women. As a knight-errant, he roams the Kingdom of Gramarye looking for wrongs to right and women to woo... but no one has held his interest for very long. Until he meets Quicksilver, a fiery warrior woman as beautiful as she is deadly, with a tongue as sharp as her sword. Has Geoffrey finally found his perfect woman? There’s only one problem: Quicksilver is the bandit chieftain who has conquered her lord’s land and castle, and Geoffrey is the Royal Knight sent to defeat and capture her. Is love hopeless? Or can Geoffrey find some way face her before an altar, not an army?
