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

"Hey Miles, you still meeting with Priya?" I tossed my cell, which was on speakerphone, onto Moriarty's passenger seat and started the engine.  


I swallowed the bulging mass of tiny Ritz crackers and cheese in my mouth. "Priya. Is she there?"

The Queen had handed the woman over to me to deal with and I was bringing the House into it as the most expedient way to wrap this up, with the least collateral damage to any innocents. 


Traffic and construction were fairly minimal between the office and my apartment, so I was almost home by the time I'd wrapped up.
