The Holy Land, August 1191. A mighty Templar knight loses faith after a horrendous massacre that haunts him and torments him in every waking moment. Burrowing further away from his God's good graces and lusting after death, he is snatched away from Death's cold grasp by Malak, a beautiful immortal, and her unwilling friends, Heva and Abbas. Robert, the former Templar knight, awakens to find himself forever changed. Once a holy warrior, he now prowls the night as a ravenous demon in the company of those he once called foe. Eternally afflicted with the vampire curse, he seeks peace. He fights to rekindle his faith and find his place in an exquisitely dark new world only to discover a sinister force unlike any the knight has ever faced before.
