In the suburbs of small town New Jersey, a chain of events set in motion years before is about to come to a head. Hidden in plain sight amongst humans, disgraced members of a mythical race called the Faithful live their lives in penance, hoping to gain favor by completing their assigned tasks. Samael, once an exalted warrior among the Faithful, is only months away from completing his punishment and he is ready to return to his place up above. He is given one simple task: bring death to the human man named Lee that he has watched over for years. Yet when the time comes, Lee's daughter Abby stumbles into his path and suddenly his ticket to salvation is put on hold. Abby doesn't know why she is so drawn to Sam, but suddenly everything about her sexy neighbor sets her blood on fire. As much as she fights, she can not stay away, and soon she understands exactly what it means to belong to a fallen angel. As Abby is drawn into his world, Sam must make the choice to follow through with his duty—or risk it all for the one human who stands in his way. \\The Faithful 1 is the first episode in The Faithful series. Each novella is approximately 25,000 words, intended to be read in order. New episodes to be released each month.\\ Excerpt from The Faithful 1 She had never heard such a thing. It was death and beauty, sour and sweet; it was music to her ears yet the melody made her bleed. It fought to surround her, bury her, to leave her broken and weak at his feet. When she covered her ears, she felt tears slide down her cheeks and she was glad that she wept. This was a sound she was not meant to hear. It was a vision she was not meant to see. Sam pulled his shirt off overhead and flung it at her feet before he fell to his knees before her, his muscles glistening with sweat. His shoulders strained as he curled into a ball and his veins surged up into cords on his neck. Someone screamed and at first she thought it was him, but then she realized that the screaming came from her own lips.
