Book Blast: Magelight by Kacey Ezell

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! šŸ˜„ I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

Kacey Ezell‘s been a busy bee as of late, as she’s gone straight from deckbuilding LitRPG last month to reverse harem romantasy this month with Magelight, from Baen Books! If you’re curious to hear about it from the author herself, I interviewed her about it last night:

But if you’d like to go ahead and read it … šŸ˜

Magelight

by Kacey Ezell

Published by Baen Books

***

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 empireā€™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 strangersā€”a warrior, a forester, and a thiefā€”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 sheā€™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?

Book Blast: Shadow Card Guardian by Kacey Ezell

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! šŸ˜„ I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

If you’re a fan of John Stovall‘s LitRPG Deckbuilder Demon Card Enforcer series, you’re in luck, ’cause my pal Kacey Ezell has a new book out in that universe, Shadow Card Guardian! I’ll be interviewing her about it Friday:

But if you’d like to read it before then … šŸ˜

Shadow Card Guardian

The Nyx Cards #1

by Kacey Ezell

***

Dania Ellis has faced warzones and Emergency Room chaosā€”but nothing prepared her for Drop Night.

Once every ten years, the gods give a deck of cards to a chosen few. These new ā€œdeckbearersā€ are capable of great magical feats, and are the top of every food chain, both metaphorically and literally.

As a combat veteran and ER nurse, Dania knows what it takes to fight for a better life. Sheā€™s worked tirelessly to build a future for herself and her orphaned nephew, Jake. But everything changes on Jakeā€™s fourteenth birthday when he receives a Drop Night deckā€”straight from Nyx, the goddess of night.

The deck grants Jake power, but it also paints a target on his back. Suddenly, heā€™s a deckbearer hunted by forces that would do anything to possess his special deck of cards. But those hunting him and others like him failed to consider one important thing: Jake may be orphaned, but heā€™s not aloneā€¦

Because Dania will do anything to protect her kid. Survival isnā€™t just an optionā€”itā€™s a promise.

Fast-paced, gripping, and full of heart, this story is in the same universe as Demon Card Enforcer, and perfect for fans of All the Skills and Goblin Summoner.

Hi, everyone! šŸ˜„ The next AJTA is coming up on Thursday, April 22nd @ 8pm EST, and this time, H.P., Lydia Sherrer, Les Johnson, Cedar Sanderson, and Kacey Ezell will be chatting the complex art of parenting!

Or rather, they’ll be chatting, and H.P. will be asking questions, ’cause the closest thing we have to a kid is Nova and some wildly unsupervised Sims. šŸ¤£

H.P.’s using a different streaming service now, so there’s no Zoom link this time. However, now you can watch on Facebook Live, YouTube, or Twitch, whichever you prefer, all without signing up!

And if you’d like to check out everyone’s books beforehand, follow the links below! šŸ˜€
