Description
Aelys wanted to move on, but her family wants her back in her place, and strange forces move against her loved ones even as her partners try to work out their relationships with one another and her.
IN HER DARKEST HOUR, AELYS CHOSE FREEDOM . . . BUT CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Bellatrix Aelys turned her back on the family that betrayed her and chose to forge her own destiny alongside the dangerous men she had accidentally bound. Now free, Romik, Vil, and Daen make the uneasy choice to continue to work with Aelys as her protectors and business partners. But when Aelys faced off against her family, she didn't eliminate every threat, and now mysterious forces are moving against her once more. Fearing for her safety and that of her men, Aelys agrees to do a simple task for her old teacher: escort some old "friends" to Zandrine, one of the fabled cities located in the south of the empire.
Only, not everything is as it seems. Zandrine is a city built on secrets and blood and pain. Aelys and her protectors will have to face the demons of the past and the dark schemes of the present, all while trying to figure out who they are to one another and how the four of them- warrior, sorceress, forester, and thief-can meld their strengths to keep each other alive.
Can Aelys, Romik, Vil, and Daen make the necessary hard choices that will forge them into a team capable of surviving these new challenges? Or will the pain of the past and the danger of the present destroy them one by one?

Reviews
Praise for Blood on the Sand:
"Colorful scene-setting backdrops the well-defined and sympathetic characters and their intricate loves, some of which are here finally fulfilled. Series fans will not be disappointed." -Publishers Weekly
Praise for Magelight:
"Magelight is a sexy, fast-paced adventure that takes time to consider the limits of love, friendship, and duty. In between the exciting action sequences and the intense character relationships, Kacey Ezell asks vital questions: How can we tell the difference between choice and compulsion? Is love as powerful as magic? And can we ever fully trust our heart's desires?" -Sharon Shinn, New York Times best-selling author of the Twelve Houses Series
"Kacey writes fast paced, addictive adventures with complex characters who often have conflicting motivations that put them on a collision course with destiny. It's the kind of stuff you can't put down." -Larry Correia
"This is one of the best fantasy novels I've read in years." -Upstream Reviews
