Magelight (Unabridged‪)‬

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?
