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

I rubbed the rods in my femur, throbbing in a dull ache. "You went too far," I told the book. "I earned my scars." 


I sent my magic into the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh and pulled out a smudgy shadow. 


It flowed faster and faster, expanding and changing shape, until a single form remained: the life-sized silhouette of an angel, attached to the gold scroll like a genie to a bottle. 


Isaac jumped into it. Without thinking, I did the same. 


We came out in the grove with the almond tree. The scroll lay in the dirt at the base of the tree, lifeless and sucked dry. I touched a hand to it.  


Isaac spun, laughing manically, a white dazzling light snapping off his skin. He glowed from inside, his blue eyes burning with a cobalt fire. 


My head ached trying to grasp the amount of power pouring off him. Most would fall down before him and proclaim him a miracle, but there was darkness behind the dazzle.  


The monster had won and it was all my fault.
