Feast of the Epiphany — Kathryn M. Hearst

Immortal and a member of the Sinistra Dei, a secret order designed to eliminate threats to the Vatican, Giovanna was created to do the dirty work of the Church. This requires creative thinking and the ability to tap dance on the line between right and wrong. As the commander she loves slowly sinks into insanity, she learns that dark immortals-the Execrati dedicated to destroying her kind- have snuck into New Orlean's legendary French Quarter to hunt her friends. With the further discovery that one of Rome's own has faked his death, and the unexpected evolution of her supernatural powers, Gia is no longer able to play by the rules. How can she defy the man she loves, break the trust of a close friend, and explain the new set of wings on her back? The answer is simple... she can't.
