The long-awaited return to the world of the Templar Chronicles by the internationally bestselling author of Eyes to See and By the Blood of Heroes!

The Templars have emerged victorious following their battle with the Chiang Shih, but paid a high price in doing so.  The dead line the halls of the local commanderies and the survivors are both physically and spiritually exhausted.  Estimates suggest it will take years for the Order to recover.

Even Echo Team has been decimated; its ranks reduced by half.  Knight Commander Cade Williams managed to survive his journey deep into the heart of the Beyond and his subsequent confrontation with the Adversary, but he has returned a changed man; his thirst for vengeance quenched but his spirit broken.  As a result, command of Echo has passed to the newly-promoted Captain Riley.

It is the moment Simon Logan, former leader of the Council of Nine and the man once known as the Necromancer, has been waiting for.  In a daring prison break, he frees himself from Templar control and vanishes into the night.  Given the difficulty the Order had in capturing him the first time, the assignment to track Logan down falls to those who know him best – Captain Riley and the newly reformed Echo Team.

But rather than waiting for Echo to coming looking for him, the Necromancer takes the battle to them instead; luring former Commander Williams away from his home and stealing the physical form of his wife, Gabrielle, a woman caught somewhere between life and death.

It is perhaps the one act that could rouse Cade from the grey haze his life has become.  As he ruthlessly tracks the Necromancer through this world and the next,  Cade can’t help but ask himself what Logan might want with a half-dead woman and the man who had literally travelled to hell and back to rescue her.

One thing is for certain – Cade won’t rest until Gabrielle is by his side once more.

The first three books in the internationally bestselling series together in one volume!

In this high-octane urban fantasy series from Bram Stoker Award and International Horror Guild Award nominee Joseph Nassise, the ancient Templar Order has been resurrected as a secret combat arm of the Vatican, charged with defending mankind from supernatural threats and enemies. 

At center stage is Knight Commander Cade Williams, a veteran of the Order and a man torn between his thirst for vengeance and his need to discover what happened to him during an encounter with a supernatural entity known as the Adversary five years before.  Williams leads the Echo Team, a special-forces style unit that gets the call when things go from bad to worse. 

Spectres, revenants and even fallen angels – they’re all in a day’s work for the man of Echo Team and their infamous commander.

THE HERETIC - Knight Commander Cade Williams and the men of the Echo Team are the best the Vatican has to offer when it comes to protecting mankind from supernatural threats and enemies. But when the Templar Order itself comes under attack from a cabal of necromancers intent on seizing an ancient artifact for their own nefarious purposes, will the skills of Echo Team's fearless leader, the man some call the Heretic, be enough to stop the slaughter?

A SCREAM OF ANGELS - When injured and badly dehydrated Catholic priest wanders out of the New Mexican desert, telling a wild story about a secret research installation and bloodthirsty demons hunting men through its halls, its the men of the Echo Team who are called into investigate. Their mission - infiltrate the facility, determine exactly what happened there, and deal with any infernal presence that might exist.

A TEAR IN THE SKY - When Knight Commander Cade Williams discovers that his wife, Gabrielle, is not truly dead, but held in some kind of arcane stasis between the lands of the living and the lands of the dead, he vows that nothing will stop him from freeing her soul from the prison surrounding her. But his vow is tested right from the start when an old friend calls on him to help protect the city of Boston from the ancient scourge that threatens to destroy it, leaving Cade with a heart-breaking choice: Do his duty and save the innocent lives he has sworn to protect or forsake them all in order to rescue the one for whom he would brave the walls of hell itself?
