Blood Moon (Blood Moon, Book 1)

All of Jon Hyde-White's hopes and dreams were shattered when he and the woman he loves became infected with vampirism. Once, he dreamed of being a holy man, now the church considers him unholy, despite the fact that unlike the conventional vampire, he can freely enter consecrated ground. Because for both him and for Cassandra, his lady love, life is unbearable, they decide to follow a wise man's offer of hope, that in Moldavia there might be a cure. Neither is a full vampire, merely infected, so perhaps there is a chance. Yet, when they reach foreign soil, all the couple finds is that they are caught between evil vampires and vampire hunters. Their sole ally is a centuries old gypsy vampire who does know of a way to change them so that evil is not predominant. They just have to survive and stay out of the hands of their maker long enough to try the method.
