Powerless. Hunted. And walking straight into a supernatural war.

Alyse Winters survived being burned by her own agency—but survival comes at a cost.

Stripped of her djinn powers, Alyse is scraping by as a bounty hunter in Philadelphia while quietly digging into the conspiracy that destroyed her life. When her former Shadow Elite handler turns up dead and an anonymous warning drags her back into the shadows, Alyse realizes her takedown wasn’t an isolated betrayal—it was the opening move.

As the Colony Games approach, the city becomes a powder keg of magic, ambition, and bloodshed. Ghuls are gathering. Mages are snapping. And someone is experimenting with power that even the supernatural world fears.

Caught between the Enclave, the Protectorate, and enemies who know exactly how vulnerable she is, Alyse is forced into a deadly game where the rules keep changing—and losing means far more than death.

Complicating everything is Reed, a relentless Nephilim Protector sworn to uphold the laws Alyse keeps breaking. Their alliance is uneasy, their attraction dangerous, and trusting him might be the most reckless move she’s ever made.

Because Alyse isn’t just fighting to get her powers back.

She’s fighting to expose the truth before Philadelphia becomes ground zero—and before the people she cares about become collateral damage.

Death Match delivers high-octane action, sharp humor, dark supernatural politics, and slow-burn romantic tension. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, and Kim Harrison, this is urban fantasy that hits hard and doesn’t let up.
