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 walked through the long shadow of the church on the courtyard towards Herald Thomas's cottage, resenting his body's automatic instinct to be afraid of the Herald. He fabricated a story in his mind of what he could've been doing the night before that placed him far, far away from Abel and Damon, and rehearsed it under his breath again and again until he reached the Herald's porch. 


He knocked, and the door swung open less than a second later.


"Come with me, Luke," Herald Thomas said in place of a greeting, placing his hand authoritatively on Luke's shoulder and steering him away from the porch.


Luke's jaw clenched and he itched to duck away from the Herald's hold. Dread trickled through him like ice as they crossed the courtyard towards the church. He wanted to protest, but he knew that he couldn't. 


Herald Thomas led Luke through the front doors, and Luke's entire body stiffened.
