Black Magick Volume 3: Ascension I - by Greg Rucka (Paperback)

About the Book

"A witch courted by demons. A cop breaking the rules to enforce the law. A woman besieged by Internal Affairs, the witch-hunters of Aira, the forces of Hell, and the sisters of her own coven. Rowan Black is all these things ... and more. She's lost her partner, an unsolved homicide haunts her conscience, and the whiff of suspicion around her involvement is getting to her fellow cops. Even Alexandra Grey, her coven-mate and best friend for several lifetimes, can tell she's falling apart. Rowan's usual techniques of wallowing in alcohol and sex aren't making her problems go away. Instead, a cadre of manipulative demons have dug in their claws all the deeper ... and they're not threatening to hurt Rowan, but the people she cares about most. Their ambition? For Rowan Black to revel in her own power and do anything she wants"--
