The first book in the QuickSilver Codex is an intriguing fantasy that whisks readers to another realm.Vivien is a typical young woman on the verge of her twentieth birthday; she’s going to attending college, gaining independence and hoping to take her burgeoning relationship with her classmate Brad to a different level.  Now she’s in a different realm, she has bodyguards, learns magic and vampires do exist and the icing on the cake she’s a princess and heir to the throne and has a murderous ruler intent on killing her. What’s a girl to do when all this happen; run and hide or try figure out whom she is really is?This steady paced story is full of action, suspense, romance and adventure as the author brings this fantasy to life with vivid imagery and strong bewitching characters.  The story captures the imagination and keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end and gets them totally caught up in the events that take place.There is romance between Vivien and Brad but most of this portion of the story focuses on her new situation which the author describes in vibrant detail that has the reader totally empathizing with Vivien’s plight.  Vivien captures the heart, but seems a little whiney until she steps forward, but then she had a lot thrown at her at once and I think she will prove to be a force to be reckoned with once she’s on her feet.Kallysten always produces the best stories and this time is no different. She has created an intriguing and enthralling fantasy that promises a great reading time and I can’t wait to read the next installment of the QuickSilver Codex.
