All of her life, Maria Alvarez has been sure of three things. 1.) The Lord God will protect and guide her thought all of the trials of life. 2.) Vampires are soulless husks of their former selves, little more than animated bodies feeding off the living. 3.) It's her job as a servant of God to rid the Earth of them.

But when she starts to spend time with the Coven, she starts to feel doubts creep into her mind. What if everything she's ever been taught is wrong? Her doubts are only exasperated by Carmem Mircalla, a former member of her church, and a broody rebel who seems to have a few secrets of her own. Will the knowledge of the world outside of her church drive her back to the safety of its walls? Or will she finally taste the forbidden fruit?

Ezekiel Joziah Hunt is the last Descendant of the Stars. As the bastard son of the King of Evimeria, he was shunned by his Grandfather Andreas when he was a small child and forced to rip off his supernatural powers. Seeking sanctuary, Ezekiel moves to a sleepy town as a student at Stonewall, an average all-boys boarding school. He has stayed hidden until the day during his vacations when a near-fatal accident reawakens his power in front of the royal court. His mystical abilities aren't the only revelation. An incomplete prophecy convinces Ezekiel that there is an impending threat within his universe. A celestial instability grows stronger each day, just as his powers do. Now, he must battle against a scheming grandfather who despises him, and the other nobles who crave to learn the secrets of his power and the prophecy without endangering their lives. But Ezekiel's biggest challenge is evading the bitterness and darkness inside him threatening to implode with a force as catastrophic as the stars.
