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 trio walked out of the church equipped with wooden stakes and zip-tie restraints, and Luke sped up to catch them before they could go.


Rob saw Luke approaching and broke off from the other two to confront Luke.


Luke's chest burned, he had a stitch in his side, and his insides rushed with a horrible mix of adrenaline and dread. He skidded to a step as he neared Rob, watching John and Dillon get into the van. "Rob, listen to me, you can't—" 


Rob reared back and swung the blunt of a stake at Luke's head.


Luke was too shocked to react in time, and white-hot pain seared through his skull. He stumbled back and looked at him with pure incredulity.


"I saw you with that guy," Rob said, his face red and puffed with his loathing. "I know that you and him are—You're—" He spat onto the grass beside him. 


Luke's hands balled into fists at his sides, his cheek throbbing from the Herald's slap and now his head from the stake. Thinking clearly was impossible.
