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

The Herald's threat wasn't an empty one. The next day, when Luke went out to buy groceries, he felt someone watching him, and saw a man from The Faith surreptitiously following him through the store. On the way up the stairs to his apartment, Luke saw the same man in his peripheral vision lingering on the sidewalk. That night at Eventide, several members of The Faith, poorly shrouded in ball caps, sunglasses, and dark clothing cycled through during his shift.


Luke spent the entirety of his shift internally begging Abel not to come in. Luckily, he didn't.


By the time he was walking home at the end of the night, Luke felt more annoyed with the guys tailing him than he felt nervous about it. He was so tempted to acknowledge one of them, but he didn't want to hear the Herald's reprimands about it.


After the second night of The Faith tailing him, Luke's strong resolve to stay solitary cracked. Lying in bed, his entire body covered by his blanket, he got out his phone to text "Unknown."
