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.

Series includes: Blood & Ash, Death & Desire, Shadows & Surrender, and Revenge & Rapture.

The Jezebel Files

White Rabbit Man raised his sword, awaiting my decision. Did he care who he ultimately used it on? I sunk my neck into my shoulders as terror clawed through me. Did I value my own skin over Meryem's? 


"It was me yesterday." I screwed up my face, hearing a heavy door clang shut on a future free of the Queen. 


"Only sort of. About a week ago, I discovered that someone warded my magic for my entire life. Suppressed it. I believed I was Mundane, but when I met you, yes, I knew otherwise." I spoke to my feet not her face. 


"More and more interesting. What's your magic?" 


"Blood. I can take magic and..." I exhaled shakily. 


She put her arm around me, all grandmotherly concern. The fierce fifty-something was Mafia grandma if anything. "Rip it off like a Band-Aid."  


The Queen squeezed my shoulders. "That wasn't so hard, now was it? So, Ashira Cohen, may I repay my debt to you?"
