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

Did the ends justify the means? Did the pain of a single individual, especially one already condemned to death outweigh that of the many? When was "for the greater good" a moral imperative and when was it merely a justification for doing what you wanted? 


I had never been one for violence, never tortured or physically intimidated anyone before my magic had shown up. That wasn't who I was, so how could I reconcile that fundamental part of me with this willingness - no, this eagerness - to perform such an extreme and inconceivable act?  


If the trauma of the accident had flipped my recessive magic gene to "on" when I was thirteen, what was the primal urge inherent in my blood magic? Because the only answer I had was "rage." Was that the common trait to all Jezebels? A burning rage that elevated us beyond the everyday fire elemental, beyond the Hot Heads and the Van Goghs? A fury so inherent to us that it was part of our blood?
