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.

Return to the widely popular Templar Chronicles urban fantasy series with this set of mission-oriented novellas featuring the original Echo Team! In The Hungry Dark, Knight Commander Cade Williams and his team are in Europe, helping train a new group of recruits when reports of strange occurrences at a small village deep in Germany's Black Forest reach the Order's leaders. 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: Each new Templar Chronicles Missions story will be set between the books of the original trilogy. The Hungry Dark takes place just a few months after the events of The Heretic and before those of A Scream of Angels.)
