IN CHICAGO, THE DEAD DON’T JUST VOTE. THEY RUN THE SHOW.
Three weeks before the mayoral election, a popular reformist candidate is found dead.
To the public, it looks like a heart attack. To Detective Sofia Vega of the Arcane Investigations Unit, it looks like an execution. The puncture wounds on the victim’s neck are precise, calculated, and impossible to explain to a mundane jury.
Sofia knows the vampire houses govern the city's shadows, but they strictly forbid killing public figures. As she peels back the layers of corruption, she discovers a conspiracy that threatens to turn the Windy City into a war zone. Caught between the old money influence of House Crimson and the terrifying digital surveillance of House Obsidian, Sofia realizes the vampires aren't the ones pulling the trigger—they’re being played.
The Veil is falling.
A rogue agent is weaponizing the city’s own infrastructure to frame the houses and force a civil war. But his endgame isn't just power; it’s exposure. As viral videos of supernatural attacks flood social media and panic grips the populace, the barrier between the magical and mundane worlds begins to dissolve in real-time.
With her partner Jack James managing the panicked brass, and technomancer Miguel Rodriguez fighting a digital siege, Sofia must turn to an unlikely ally: her estranged cousin, Adriana, who is leading a desperate underground resistance of displaced magical refugees.
To save Chicago, Sofia has to do more than solve a murder. She has to force the ancient powers of the night to do the one thing they fear most: step into the light.
Blood & Ballots is the sixth explosive installment in the Chicago Underground series. Perfect for fans of The Dresden Files, Patricia Briggs, and gritty magical noir.
