Since there have been Sin Collectors there have been Castus. Sin Collectors may come from demons or from God, there is no absolute certainty. At the time of death Sin Collectors "collect" the sins of the persons soul that is passing on to secure their place in heaven. The Castus is an organization that hunts down Collectors. Their belief is that Collectors are abominations, that they allow corrupt souls to pass into heaven when they should not be allowed in.Liliana was raised by her mentor Olexander to take her place in society. When she is a young girl, another Collector passes through with her ward and Lili and William become quick friends before he leaves town a month later. Once she turns 20 Olexander leaves her on her own, because Collectors can not handle being around each other.After 100 yrs Lily is working at a library and William happens upon her in his search for information on Sin Collectors. He asks Lili to accompany him on his search and when they reach Dublin she reunites with Olexander, who has found a way to mingle with their own kind. Olexander is certain that The Castus are after Liliana and has come to rescue her. Now Lily must make the decision on who to trust and not to trust. Both William and Olexander are hiding secrets that could get them all killed.This was a really good novel and I enjoyed reading it. The genre is refreshing in that it hasn't saturated the "market" yet. I look forward to reading the rest of this trilogy =)
