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

"You want checkmate, blanquita? Levi or any House Head can only go after me if I leave Hedon. Should I wish it, I can destroy all entrances and seal us off permanently for whatever time we have left. It's your choice." 


Some choice. Horrible or unimaginable. "How can you be sure Hedon won't break down again even if Abraham fixes it? What if it's beyond repair?" 


"It's not. I am attuned to its magic." Apparently, but how? Now was not the time to ask. "Abraham can make it so that Hedon is stable and incapable of further expansion. Once he's completed his task, you will take away his powers seeing as he doesn't use them anyway." 


"Protecting what is mine," she said, placing her hand on her heart. 


I kicked the door. "Was using me always your endgame? If this hadn't happened with Vespa, would I have ended up in your debt another way?"
