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

Like Harry Potter, I escaped facial carnage, though there was no magical train waiting on the other side. 


Arms askew, I skittered to a stop on a slippery rock ledge, knocking pebbles into the waterfall that fell from above me. They immediately burned up, as things do when the waterfall is made of spitting and hissing orange-red corrosive lava. My eyes watered from the stench of brimstone and hate.  


It was the Reichenbach Falls on a bad acid trip. 


"You. Need. Therapy!" I yelled into the wind that whistled like a tortured scream. I tapped my foot, seeking any other way possible to keep moving forward and get to my stupid boyfriend. There wasn't one. 


"Damage me and you are paying for very expensive reconstructive surgery and a fuckton of drugs." Edging forward, I peered over the edge. My foot slipped on a wet patch and with a screech, I hit the rock on one knee, my other leg dangling over the chasm. I grabbed an outcropping of rock to keep from falling backwards.
