I'm an assassin, not a treasure hunter.

In the shadow-drenched alleys of New Orleans, I'm pushed past my usual assassin gig to retrieve a lost grimoire for the city's Master Vampire.

Did I mention the grimoire holds the power to unleash Hades from the Underworld?

With the fate of the world teetering on the brink, I'm forced to partner with Kestrel, a vampire whose allure is as potent as his secrets.

As Hades inches closer to freedom, I have no choice but to expose my powers.

Except there's a catch-

Using them might destroy me.

The Codex of Shadows is the first book in the Fire Mage Chronicles trilogy, an Urban Fantasy adventure with a morally gray hero, fated mates and vampires!
