Kera atkins

In a world where being of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina Kane has the only profession fit for an outcast: assassin. Her target is none other than Cain - the father of all vampires and the mosnter who murdered Sabina's family. The key to defeating Cain lies in Rome - in the hands of a mage named Abel.

The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.
