Abdiel St. Jude is a gargoyle knight, a hunter of supernatural evil with a dark heritage and an even darker history. When he goes to Garville, Maine it's to track down a ritualistic murderer. Finding his long lost sister was never on the agenda. Eden Sinclair has no memories of her real family but doesn't doubt Abdiel's claim of kinship. Not only do they share the same strange powers but the gargoyle blood in his veins bears the exact same taint as hers. Though Eden and her friends in the Gargoyle Club already stopped the murderer their problems aren't over. Abdiel's not the only one who recognized the signs of an occult crime and most hunters don't tolerate anything supernatural - not even when it's on the right side. What he thought would be an easy hunt quickly becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse, and with his sister's life at stake Abdiel can't afford to lose.

Things are finally settling down for Abdiel and Eden St. Jude. Eden's gotten used to her gargoyle powers and shapeshifting abilities, and Abdiel is finally getting to know his long lost sister. For the first time in his life he is truly happy - until four of his friends are murdered in their own homes. To make matters worse, Abdiel soon learns that he has other problems. His foster father and his old teacher have both gone missing, and his adopted siblings are demanding his help in their search. Abdiel doesn't want anything to do with his foster family. They separated him from his real sister and let him think she was dead for thirteen years. Abdiel can't forgive them for that . . . but that doesn't mean he wants them dead too. With everyone he cares about in danger Abdiel can't afford to do nothing. His adversaries this time are the strongest he's ever faced, but he has more to lose now than ever before.

When Andre returns to New Orleans for a funeral, he finds that things are much more sinister than he remembers. His world has changed since learning about his powers, and the things that stalk the shadows, but he never dreamed the darkness would hit so

Garville, Maine is famous for its stone monsters - the gargoyles and grotesques carved on every building that stare down with sightless eyes. Meanwhile a human monster stalks the streets, leaving a trail of bodies and death. Eden Sinclair quickly realizes the murderer is no ordinary killer. Dark supernatural forces are at work and to survive she must turn to five other teenagers who share her unique powers. Andre, Damien, Colette, Sorel, and Monique are descended from the city's founders and inherited the taint of gargoyle blood. With them Eden finds acceptance, friendship, and even more danger. Betrayal and secrets from the past are entwined with every clue. With her friends beside her Eden begins to close in on the killer . . . but the killer's also closing in on her . . .

For thousands of years the world has been protected from evil by gargoyle knights - part demon, mostly human warriors, armed with unnatural strength and the power to shapeshift into ferocious, nearly unstoppable beasts. Now, a new threat looms on the horizon. Abaddon's seal, the barrier separating the human world from the demon realms, will soon collapse. Abdiel St. Jude knows how to replace it, but to do so he will have to cross lines that he swore he never would. His sister, Eden, searches desperately for another way, but the one she finds is darker and even more dangerous than anything she could have expected. Amidst the storm of subterfuge, deception, dark alliances, and death, loyalties will be tested, bonds will be broken, and one painful truth becomes frighteningly clear - when Abaddon's seal breaks, Eden and Abdiel will not be fighting on the same side.

Eden and Abdiel are gargoyle knights - hunters of supernatural evil, descended from demons. Time and again they have risked their lives to protect humans from monsters and ritualistic murderers, but now they have been betrayed by one of the very people they fought to protect. When Abdiel is poisoned, Eden will stop at nothing to find a cure. Her search will take her to the halls of the Gormogon Order and into the stronghold of an ancient enemy, as she races against the clock. With her brother's life hanging by a thread and no idea who she can trust, there is no line Eden won't cross to save him.

The lines have been drawn. Sides have been chosen. The seal is breaking. Every challenge since Eden first discovered her powers has led her to this. For her, it is now a race against time, to lead an invading force into the demon realms, to find and destroy the demon emperor. Meanwhile, her father, brother, and best friend rush to replace the seal - an act that will either force Eden to end her mission in failure or trap her in hell. Sacrifices must be made. Lives will be lost. And at the end of it all, Eden must face the bleak truth - that heroes don't always get happy endings.
