The Kate Daniels series is set in an alternate Atlanta where magic and technology have become unpredictable forces. Waves of magic sweep across the world, causing technology to fail and unleashing creatures from myth and legend. Then magic recedes, and technology works again. Society has adapted to this new reality, and people like Kate Daniels make a living navigating both worlds.

Kate is a mercenary who takes jobs others won’t touch. She carries a sword, knows how to use it, and has secrets about her past that could get her killed if the wrong people found out. The series follows her as she gets drawn into the politics of Atlanta’s supernatural factions, including the Pack (a coalition of shapeshifters) and the People (necromancers who pilot undead vampires).

Written by husband-wife team Ilona and Andrew Gordon under the pen name Ilona Andrews, the series is known for its detailed world-building, slow-burn romance, and a protagonist who earns her victories through skill, determination, and hard-won alliances.
