A Blade of Death and Magic by Lacey Carter Andersen

When Alys discovered evil in a way she never thought possible, she had no choice but to investigate. She just never imagined that all roads would lead to death.
Someone would pay for the trail of bodies and destruction that Alys’ investigation uncovered, and someone would pay for targeting all the people she loves.
Even if it would cost her everything.
Alys always told herself there were limits to what she would do with her magic. She always told herself that one day she would be free of her servitude and spend her life with her son.
But what if after enduring unimaginable pain and even more heartbreaking betrayal Alys does the one thing she shouldn’t?
Deaths and spirits haunted every step of her investigation, yet at the end of it all, would the price Alys pay be too high?
