Quicksilver
A thief from a walled human city is dragged into Yvelia by a fae warrior who despises her, into a court where she is a curiosity and a liability. The most direct answer to what people are asking for when they ask what comes after ACOTAR. On the House's scale it rates 5 for spice (scorching), 5 for how much of the book is the romance, and 3 for craft. ACOTAR readers who want the same shape with the heat turned up two notches.

On the spice rating Explicit throughout and unusually frank, with scenes long enough to be structural rather than punctuation. How the scale works.
Content warnings graphic violence, sexual content, captivity, gore.
