Heretic

At the end of the First Crusade, the church created a monastic military order known as the Knights Templar. Now, rising up from the ashes of history, they are the Vatican's last defense in the war between good and evil . . .

AN ANCIENT ARMY REBORN
Cade Williams is no ordinary man. His ability to cross over to the other side makes him uniquely qualified to command the church's special operations division. As a modern-day Knight, Cade can use the curse that has scarred his soul as a weapon against the forces of darkness. But a new kind of unholy war is brewing-and soon Cade may be the last man standing . . . between the living and the dead.

AN ANCIENT MYSTERY RESURRECTED
The desecration of Templar cemeteries has sparked a full-scale investigation. Cade and his team soon discover a cabal of necromancers is behind it all. Their purpose: to claim the legendary powers of a lost holy relic for their own ungodly campaign. For Cade, there's only one way to stop them-by tracking the dead himself . . . crossing the most sacred of battle lines . . . and facing his own terrifying demons.


Genre: Urban Fantasy

"HERETIC has it all -- action, suspense, terror, sharp dialogue, a dynamite central concept, and richly-drawn characterization. Don't try pigeon-holing this book, because Nassise -- like his Templar Knights -- doesn't stand still long enough for you to take aim. This is cross-genre fiction at its absolute best. I, for one, cannot wait for the next book in what promises to be a long and rewarding series." - Gary A Braunbeck
