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

My body stiffened like a board and I fell over, though I was completely cognizant. The smack of concrete against my cheek felt far away next to the sharp agony rolling through me. I cried out as every muscle simultaneously seized up in a giant charley horse.

Pastor Nephus snapped a pair of magic nulling cuffs on me. Through my haze of pain came a terrifying flatness. I was powerless. I shook my wrists, my brows drawn together in confusion. 


"You asked about the youth shelter," he said. "These came in handy for dealing with some of our more temperamental flock." 


He dragged me upright, propped me in a wooden chair, and tied me up with several thick ropes.  


By the time I had control of my body again, all I could do was tug uselessly on the bindings. "I helped you with Eve."
