A vampire hunter who is born into The Faith, a cult that preaches purity and hatred for vampires, Luke's newest mission is to capture a half-vampire in his town. He starts working at a bar in New Orleans to get familiar with local nightlife, and there he meets Abel.

Abel, with his bright hazel eyes and dimples that frame his smile, wedges himself in the middle of Luke's mission. He's everything that The Faith hates: he drinks casually, his ears are pierced, and he's not shy about making his affections for Luke clear. His relaxed attitude is like a magnet to Luke.

After wearing Luke down, Abel persuades Luke to hang out at his apartment, where he introduces him to his brother. The sight of him shocks Luke: he's a dead-ringer for the half-vampire he's hunting.

Knowing that Abel's brother is his prey, Luke is torn between fulfilling his mission for The Faith and his fear of losing what he has with Abel.

The FAITH

Luke dawdled finishing his last bite, but Abel didn't seem to be in a rush to leave.


"So, why do you work at a bar?" Abel asked, his chin in his hand.


"Uh—" Luke didn't look at him, instead into his mostly-empty cup of water. He wasn't sure how much he should tell him. "It's something for The Faith." 


"That's why I'm asking, it doesn't seem like something you guys would be allowed to do."


Luke tensed his hand on his lap, and the adhesive from the bandage tugged at his skin. "It's an assignment from the Herald."


Abel smiled, humor dancing in his eyes. "Oooh, the Herald? He sounds important." 


Luke cracked a smile at his tone, though at the back of his mind he felt refreshed talking with someone who knew so little about The Faith; he didn't know the Herald, he didn't know the Doyens, he didn't know Luke's father. "He's the head of the—um—" 


Abel's brows jumped up and a wry smile spread on his lips. "Cult?" 


"Organization," Luke said, pointedly grimacing at him.
