They are the Fallen. A brotherhood of killers born to bring death to people. But thanks to their leader, Gabriel, the Fallen have learned to direct their thirst for destruction towards those who discredit this world with their existence. For Raphael, sex is inextricably linked with death. Where there is one, there must be another. He is a sexual sadist, luring victims with his angelic face and body, created for sin. And sin is the meaning of Raphael's life. A new assignment takes Raphael into the underworld of underground sex clubs in Boston, where he comes face to face with his come to life fantasy. Maria is everything he dreamed of, the murder he always craved. But she is not his target. And he knows that he must fight temptation. But the temptation is too great... However, Raphael is not the only one given the task. Maria is not quite what she seems. And as her and Raphael's secrets are revealed, Maria begins to doubt everything she thought she knew... about evil, about the place she called home, and about the beautiful sinner she was ordered to destroy.
