Check This Out: Callie Hart & 'Brimstone'

Check This Out host Rachel Barenbaum talks with author Callie Hart about her book, "Brimstone."

"Brimstone" is the follow-up to the self-published phenomenon "Quicksilver."

Saeris Fane doesn't want power, and now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life is not her own.

She must master her dangerously unstable Alchemical powers to combat a cosmic “rot” consuming their world, all while navigating treacherous political enemies who see her as a usurper to be controlled or destroyed.

Read the novel with your book club - and if you do, let us know your thoughts; drop us an email or a voice memo at Books@NHPR.org!

Check this Out features lively conversations with up and coming authors you may not have discovered yet. Check This Out is proud to partner with The PEN/Faulkner Foundation to champion new voices in literature.

Support your local bookstore, or buy your copy of "The White Hot" from Zibby's Bookshop, a sponsor of Check This Out.

Rachel Barenbaum is the author of the critically-acclaimed novels Atomic Anna and A Bend in the Stars. She is a prolific writer and reviewer. Her work has appeared in the LA Review of Books, Harper’s Bazaar, and more.
