France, 1311 . . . Raymond Caradas, more wolf than man, is outcast since betraying his former master Esquin de Floyran to save the Templar brethren from the French King's fires. Tormented by his humanity and his past, alone, he drifts from town to town drowning his demons in drink and women.
About to commit a diabolical act, he is prevented by lone she-wolf, Kit, who has sought him out for a purpose. Angered by her persistence, but drawn to her, Caradas is unwittingly pulled back into the Templar struggle with new enemies determined to hunt down and destroy the supernatural knights.
But something from Caradas' past is about to come back to haunt him and force him to face his greatest fear; death at the stake.
