Everyone’s got their own demons…

When Valora Keri was six years old, she was tired of being bullied. So she did what any kid in her shoes would do: She freed a cat-demon in exchange for the power to fight back.

She might have accidentally killed her mother in the process.

Since then, she’s tried to balance the scales by living a good life in post-collapse San Francisco, tending bar in a seedy club and acting as protector for the girls who work there.

But when someone brutally murders one of her girls, Val will stop at nothing to avenge her death and bring the guilty to justice.

Her search for the killer takes her deep into San Francisco’s underground, uncovering vampires, shifters, mobsters, monsters, and ancient cabals.

If you love flawed heroes who never stop fighting, snarky sidekicks, and found family, you’ll love this thrilling Urban Fantasy Supernatural Mystery.

What’s worse than a deranged seraph bent on domination? A new necromancer in town and a vampire queen out for blood.

Valora Keri’s problems are multiplying like moles. Every time she whacks one, three more pop up.

First, a good friend turns up dead under mysterious circumstances.

While Val is busy trying to figure out why, witch hunters show up at her door, demanding she stand trial for crimes committed years ago.

She needs time to sort it out, but instead she’s coerced into a new job she doesn’t want, forcing her to rub shoulders with powerful people she’d rather not know, and to navigate treacherous circles she wants nothing to do with.

Add in a dash of necromancer and a pinch of pissed off vampire queen, and Val is in a stew bubbling with all the ingredients for disaster.

Immortal Sorceress Kat Palon has been around for nine hundred years, and she’s tired. But when a blood witch attempts to corrupt the city’s covens, she has no choice but to brush off her apathy and step into her role as protector of the balance between magical and mundane. If only her ex, a servant of Death, would step out of her way.

Archonia was built on magic and the ashes of a fallen empire.

Ruled by an Archon who has remained on the throne longer than any before him, some fear the pillars of the kingdom grow weak. Others that a tyrant has seized control.
