Templar Chronicles Series

Monsters prey on the innocent. He preys on the monsters.   As commander of the Echo Team, the Templar's most battle-hardened combat unit, Cade Williams spends his days working in the shadows, protecting mankind from supernatural threats and enemies. The public is unaware of the Order's existence, never mind the nature of the enemy they face and that's fine with Cade, for if it became common knowledge that monsters exist, chaos would result.   But now the Order's mission and secrecy are threatened when unknown forces attack Templar commanderies in the dead of night, leaving destruction in their wake. Cade and his team are ordered to put an end to the attacks before the battle spills into the open, destroying the hard-won balance between the darkness and the light.   By the time he gets to the bottom of it all, Cade will be neck deep in revenants, demons, and death magick. But the true nature of the forces arrayed against him will only be revealed when he comes face to face with an enemy from his own past, the creature known only as the Adversary.

New York Times bestseller Joseph Nassise has brought readers six thrilling books in the Templar Chronicles urban fantasy series. Now, in Shades of Blood, he goes back to the beginning, back to the early days of the Echo Team, back to the time when their enigmatic leader was just learning the ropes... Cade Williams was just an ordinary cop until the night a fallen angel nearly killed him. Now he commands the Echo Team, a special ops squad of modern Templar knights, and the things they hunt are far darker and much deadlier than the criminals that he used to face... Captain Cade Williams and the newly formed Echo Team are sent to the city of Boston to investigate reports of a mysterious blood cult and the disappearance of several members of the Templar Order. What they find will have repercussions that echo well into the future.

With the locals tied up on other matters, Echo Team is dispatched to deal with the situation. No sooner do the men of Echo reach their destination that a terrible winter storm rolls in, stranding them in enemy territory with nothing but their wits and a handful of weapons to get them through the night. (Author's Note: The Hungry Dark takes place just a few months after the events of The Heretic and before those of A Scream of Angels.)

We all have those moments that define us, those moments that make us who we are, and for Matthew Cornelius Riley one such moment came on a dark night in August nearly twenty-five years ago. The events of that evening would drive him into the waiting arms of the Templar Order, would help him rise through the ranks to become not just a member of the Echo Team but the executive officer to its infamous commander, Cade Williams. This is the story of that fateful night.

He said he'd go to Hell and back to save her. Now he'll get his chance! Knight Commander Cade Williams is having a bad day. A message from a once-powerful enemy reveals the unthinkable. Cade's wife, Gabrielle, is not dead as he has long believed, but held captive deep in the Beyond, a prisoner of the Adversary, and Cade vows that nothing will stop him from freeing her soul from the prison that binds her. Standing in his way, however, is an army of Chiang Shih – Chinese vampires with a taste for human flesh and a desire to invade our world – backed by what looks like half the spectres this side of Hell. Never mind the Adversary himself. Joseph Nassise, the New York Times bestselling author of the Templar Chronicles, delivers another pulse-pounding adventure you won't want to miss!

The time for a reckoning has come… Cade Williams' worst nightmare has come true. The Necromancer's black magick has not only released the Adversary from the infernal realms where Cade imprisoned it, but allowed the fallen angel to possess the body of Cade's beloved wife, Gabrielle, in the process. When the Templars interrupt the ritual and kill the Necromancer, the Adversary sprouts wings and escapes into the darkness. Branded a traitor by the Templars for his cooperation with the sorcerer, willing or not, Cade finds himself hunted by his former allies as an enemy of the Order while working feverishly to track down the Adversary and rescue his wife from the vile creature's control. It is almost too much for the weary Echo Team commander to handle. Just when he thinks things can't get any worse, he makes contact with a creature known as the Forsaken One and discovers answers to the questions that have haunted him since the Adversary first appeared in his life. Answers that may ultimately cost him more than he ever imagined.
