The Templars have emerged victorious following their battle with the Chiang Shih but paid a high price in doing so. The dead line the halls of the local commanderies, and the survivors are both physically and spiritually exhausted. Estimates suggest it will take years for the Order to recover.

Knight commander Cade Williams is having a bad day. A message from a once-powerful enemy reveals the unthinkable. Cade's wife, Gabrielle, is not dead as he has long believed but held captive deep in the Beyond, a prisoner of the Adversary. Cade vows that nothing will stop him from freeing her soul from the prison that binds her.

It is the moment Simon Logan, the Necromancer, has been waiting for. A daring prison break allows him to escape Templar control and vanish into the night. Newly promoted Captain Riley and the reformed Echo Team are given the job of tracking him down.

For five long years, the Adversary and his infernal allies have ruled the earth, herding mankind into demon-controlled enclaves and hunting those that remain near to extinction.

Then, from the depths of the Beyond, a pair of legends emerge.

As they struggle to find familiar faces in an unfamiliar world, one question burns in the forefront of their thoughts. What happened to the Templars?

The Necromancer's black magick has not only released the Adversary from the infernal realms where Cade imprisoned it, but allowed the fallen angel to possess the body of Cade's beloved wife, Gabrielle, in the process. When the Templars interrupt the ritual and kill the Necromancer, the Adversary sprouts wings and escapes into the darkness.
