Cade Williams leads the Echo Team—the Vatican's elite secret military unit of Knight Templars—into a shadow war against the supernatural. Gifted with psychic talents and armed with blessed armor and mystical weaponry, the team arrives in a city plagued by darkness to locate a missing operative named Bishop. Their search leads them from desecrated sanctuaries to blood-soaked slaughterhouses as they confront the Ch'iang Shih, ancient life-draining entities that defy death. What begins as a rescue mission quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival when Cade realizes the true horror of their enemy's power. Facing betrayal, reanimated allies, and overwhelming odds, the Templars must wield their ancient magic and modern firepower to stop a spreading infection of evil.
