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

Abel's eyes flicked away from Luke's as the other members of The Faith swarmed him.


Abel moved with inhuman speed as The Faith members tried to capture him. He fought John off with strength Luke could never have imagined, throwing him across the room. As John's back slammed into a wall and he coughed in pain, Abel grabbed Dillon with an immobilizing grip.


Abel's teeth ripped through Dillon's skin with a vile shredding sound, and he left behind deep gashes from his blunt teeth. He dropped him to the ground, the purple and red bruises on his neck obscured by the blood gushing from his wounds.


Luke watched the scene as if it was in slow motion. His blood rushed so loudly in his ears that he felt like he was in a wind tunnel; his jaw was slack, his eyes wide, and his mind unable to take in the scene in front of him as something really happening.
