Magic Bites
Book 1 of the Kate Daniels series
Mercenary Kate Daniels lives in an alternate Atlanta where waves of magic and technology repeatedly replace one another. The murder of her guardian draws her into a conflict among shapeshifters, necromancers, and supernatural powers while forcing her to conceal the dangerous bloodline behind her abilities. Kate's investigation introduces Beast Lord Curran and a world where every alliance carries teeth. Dark, fast, and foundational, this urban fantasy suits readers who enjoy sarcastic heroines, monster-filled mysteries, slow-building series romance, and magical systems that make the city itself unpredictable.
