Templar Chronicles Box Set #1

WHEN HELL BREAKS LOOSE, SOMEONE HAS TO DRAG IT BACK DOWN.

Monsters are real. They walk among us, hunt us, feed on us. Most people never see them. The lucky ones die quickly.

The Templar Order makes sure the rest of the world stays lucky.

For over 900 years, the Knights Templar have operated in the shadows between the mortal world and the supernatural, hunting demons, dark sorcerers, and biblical nightmares that prey on humanity. They're not the warrior monks of legend—they're elite operatives with tactical training, modern weapons, and Vatican-blessed steel sharp enough to send anything back to Hell.

And the deadliest among them is Knight Commander Cade Williams, the man they call the Heretic.

THIS OMNIBUS COLLECTION INCLUDES:

BOOK 1: THE HERETIC

Monsters prey on the innocent. He preys on the monsters.

Five years ago, Cade Williams was an ordinary cop until a fallen angel known as the Adversary savagely attacked him and his wife. Cade survived. Gabrielle did not.

Now he commands the Echo Team—an elite squad of monster-hunting Templars who operate where conventional law enforcement can't go. When demons, necromancers, and supernatural predators threaten the innocent, Cade and his battle-hardened warriors hunt them down with military precision and righteous fury.

But protecting humanity isn't Cade's only mission. He hasn't forgotten that summer night five years ago. He hasn't forgotten the creature that destroyed his life. And when the time comes, he fully intends to settle the score.

In a world where angels have fallen and monsters walk among us, vengeance and duty have become the same thing.

BOOK 2: A SCREAM OF ANGELS

Evil walks the halls of Eden. And it's not leaving without a fight.

The Echo Team has faced necromancers, revenants, even summoned demons—and sent them all screaming back to the abyss. But when a blood-soaked Jesuit priest staggers out of the New Mexico desert raving about a secret research installation and bloodthirsty demons tearing through its halls, they're about to face something worse.

Their orders are brutally simple: infiltrate the facility, determine what crawled out of Hell, and eliminate it by bullet, blade, or sheer force of will.

But the creature they find beneath the desert sands isn't some garden-variety demon. This being has shattered the bonds of Hell itself and carved a doorway between worlds. It's killed before. It will kill again. And it has zero intention of going back to the pit.

A relentless cat-and-mouse battle in the darkness beneath the desert, where the Echo Team will need every weapon, every ounce of courage, and a whole lot of faith to survive what's waiting for them.

Because sometimes, the enemy is too powerful even for the Templars' best soldiers.

BOOK 3: A TEAR IN THE SKY

He said he'd go to Hell and back to save her. Now he'll get his chance.

A cryptic message shatters everything Cade Williams has believed for five years: his wife Gabrielle isn't dead. Her soul is imprisoned deep in the Beyond, tortured and twisted by the Adversary himself. The fallen angel who murdered her body now holds her spirit captive in a realm where nightmares bleed into reality.

Cade vows that nothing—not armies, not demons, not the gates of Hell itself—will stop him from tearing down the walls between worlds and freeing her.

But standing between Cade and his wife is a ravenous horde of Ch'iang Shih—flesh-hungry Chinese vampires with claws like razors and an insatiable appetite. They're massing at the borders of our world, ready to pour through and unleash carnage. Behind them? What looks like half the specters and demons this side of Hell. And behind it all? The Adversary himself, waiting with a smile.

Cade's not worried. He's faced down biblical nightmares before and sent them screaming back to the pit. He's got tactical expertise, blessed weapons, the Echo Team at his back, and a righteous fury that could melt the hinges off Heaven's gates.

Whether the Echo Team survives storming the gates of Hell itself? That's another question entirely.

This three-book collection delivers everything readers love about military supernatural thrillers:

✓ ESCALATING STAKES: From hunting street-level demons (Book 1) to facing an unkillable creature from Hell (Book 2) to literally invading the Beyond itself (Book 3), each novel raises the stakes higher.

✓ TEAM DYNAMICS: Riley, Flynn, Duncan, and the rest of Echo Team evolve from capable warriors into brothers-in-arms willing to follow Cade anywhere—including through the gates of Hell.

✓ TACTICAL AUTHENTICITY: These aren't wizards throwing fireballs. They're elite operators with military training, blessed swords, and the tactical precision to take down enemies that violate physics.

✓ BIBLICAL HORRORS: Fallen angels, demons from the pit, Chinese hopping vampires, necromancers, revenants, and creatures that phase between dimensions—each enemy is unique and terrifying.

✓ PERSONAL VENDETTA: Cade's not just doing his job. The Adversary took everything from him. This is deeply, brutally personal.

✓ NO DOWNTIME: Each book is relentless, fast-paced action from the first page. When one threat is neutralized, the next is already clawing at the door.

SERIES OVERVIEW - THE TEMPLAR CHRONICLES:

The Knights Templar didn't disappear in 1307—they went underground. For over 900 years, they've been humanity's secret shield against supernatural evil, operating from commanderies hidden across the globe and answering only to the Vatican.

The Echo Team is their scalpel—the elite squad called in when the threat is too dangerous, too powerful, or too biblically horrifying for conventional Templars. Led by Knight Commander Cade Williams (codename: the Heretic), they're the Order's deadliest warriors.

But being the best comes with a cost. The enemies are stronger. The missions are deadlier. And sometimes, the line between protecting humanity and settling personal scores gets very, very thin.

WHY START HERE:

This omnibus gives you the complete foundation of the Templar Chronicles:

• Book 1 introduces Cade, the Echo Team, and establishes the Adversary as the series' ultimate villain

• Book 2 shows the team facing an enemy that pushes them to their limits and demonstrates just how dangerous their world really is  

• Book 3 delivers the first major confrontation with the Adversary and changes everything about Cade's mission.

By the end of this collection, you'll understand why Cade Williams is called the Heretic, why the Echo Team follows him into Hell itself, and why the Adversary's name makes demons nervous.

CONTENT NOTES:

Graphic violence and combat • Supernatural horror elements • Death and grief (Cade's wife) • Demonic entities • Religious themes (Catholic Templars, biblical mythology) • Military language • No explicit sexual content • Team in constant danger

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The Templar Chronicles omnibus delivers three complete novels of tactical supernatural warfare. Ancient warrior monks updated for the modern age. Blessed swords meeting modern firearms. Biblical horrors with body counts. And a hero who'll literally invade Hell to save the innocent—and settle a very personal score.

Monsters prey on the innocent. Cade Williams preys on the monsters.
