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

"As Moses with the Red Sea," I intoned in a deep voice, "so Ashira with the library shelf."

I quickly followed, barely glimpsing some very dry titles before the library vanished. Were we transported? 


Hot, sharp sunlight beat down on my head. Tier after tier of windowless stone arches soared high above me, the space rung with stone bleachers, but all was empty save for a small knot of people on the lowest level, all wearing some variation of Mad Max post-apocalyptic chic.  


Dust covered my motorcycle boots with each step on the cracked, baked earth as I stalked over to the group.  


"Hail and greetings, followers of Asherah." I snapped off a sassy salute. "Which of you is the Houdini?" Whoever it was hadn't bothered with the gritty taste of dirt at the back of my throat to provide a full illusory experience. It was all sun and heat with no substance.
