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, her best friend, and the man she loves, Aelys makes the only choice she can see: she takes her fate into her own hands and she 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?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ezell (Minds of Men) delivers romantic wish-fulfilment against a high fantasy backdrop in this fun coming-of-age saga. Young Aelys of Brionne, heir to a leading family of her matriarchal Empire, wants to join the Imperial Battlemage Corps; complete a mystical bond with her lover, Halik, so he can become her Ageon, a protector bound to her through mental and sexual energy; and serve her Empire. Unfortunately, her lack of faith in herself makes her fail constantly in her magical Bellatrix training. When she does finally graduate, she's devastated to learn that Halik has bonded with her best friend, Myara, instead. Aelys then flees from the training academy, falls off her horse, and is rescued from bandits by three hunky non-noble heroes—Romik, a warrior; Daen, once an Imperial Forester; and Vik, an accomplished thief. The men have bound themselves by an oath of brotherhood, and, all smitten with Aelys, they choose to bond to her as well as her Ageons. Ezell maintains the ménage à quatre tension through Aelys's ensuing monstrous adventures and political maneuvering, and sets things up for at least one sequel. Readers seeking a rip-roaring reverse harem fantasy will want to check this out.
