Magelight

Magelight, Book 1

By: Kacey Ezell

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

Fleeing her sheltered life, a noblewoman must trust a warrior, a forester, and a thief to unlock her true power and face her destiny.

Embrace your power and forge your destiny.

All her life, Aelys of Brionne had been weak. As the noble daughter of one of the empire's most powerful magic-wielding families, it should have been easy for her to live her dream of bonding with a warrior protector and joining the Imperial Battlemage Corps. But when her weakness robs her of her dreams, best friend, and the man she loves, Aelys makes the only choice she can see: she takes her fate into her own hands and runs, leaving her safe, protected world behind.

Now she must find a way to work with three dangerous strangers—a warrior, a forester, and a thief—to escape the bandits stalking her, fight through the dangers of the untamed forest, and make her way back home, where her family and her destiny await.

Only... her violent protectors might be the key to the power and freedom she's always craved. Can Aelys find the strength to choose her own destiny and become the sorceress she was born to be? Or lose herself on the path to power?

good adventure

The main character does a lot of growth in this adventure as she discovers betrayal after betrayal. I love her desire to give people a choice even as she was denied one over and over in life. The author also does a great job teasing the romance.

Great storyline

really enjoyed the development, characters are not over powered like the magic system. I can not wait to read the next one

An excellent new sword and sorcery universe

Well, this is a new setting for Kacey's work, and it's an excellent foray into sword and sorcery. The setup is different from what is often done and magical physics are interestingly put together. I hope she continues this as there is a lot of potential in it.
The Bubba Likes It! Do Recommend!

Magical Bonds Dark and Sensual

A new take on magical bonds with a hint of history both darker and more sensual. Magelight brings betrayal, power, and intrigue to the table. It will definitely leave you wanting more.
