When detective for hire, Ashira Cohen, was 13, her con artist father disappeared, leaving her with emotional scars and a limp she can't hide. But she toughened up, determined never to be played again. Is history repeating itself?

First, she's hit on the head during a stakeout, revealing a mysterious tattoo on the back of her skull. Even worse? It's a now-broken ward unleashing dangerous magic that as a Mundane, she shouldn't possess. 

Her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. One word from him about her forbidden abilities, and everything she's built will be taken from her… by force.

The only bright spot is that Levi requires her supernatural skills, providing Ash's chance at payback and she's going to enjoy every second of it.

The Jezebel Files

Throwing the money that Talia had given me for cab fare at the bewildered taxi driver, I sprinted up the stairs to my apartment and tore the ruined dress off, kicking it into a corner before showering and slipping into my coziest fleece pajamas. 


"Pri?" I whispered, pushing her door open. Careful not to trip on the dark lumps on her floor that were probably shoes, I sat down her bed. 


She yawned, cracking a bleary eye open. "What time is it?" 


"Really late or really early. Can I sleep here?" 


She brushed a strand of hair out of my face. "Want to talk about it?" 


Priya pulled the covers back and I crawled in beside her. I expected to stay awake rehashing the night's events, but my friend was giving off heat like a furnace and her sheets smelled like sunshine and sleep claimed me. 


She didn't push me to talk the next day, for which I was profoundly grateful.
