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.

About the author
R.L. Blackhurst
4 books3 followersI was born in Essex but raised in Bahrain and southern Spain. Having fallen in love with the natural world at a young age, I studied for a degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences and went on to do a PhD in Astrobiology (looking for microbes that could colonize Martian rocks and that sort of thing!)
Now, I live in New Zealand and make "palm oil free" soaps and natural skincare products, and write fantasy and(hopefully soon) science fiction novels. I am crazy about wolves and have two of my own (well, close . . . Germans shepherds.) My other favourite beasts are sharks, rats (I have two) and all members of the crow family.
I like living in this century well enough, but often believe I was born too late or too early. The middle ages or a space faring future would have suited me better. Luckily as a writer I can write about both.
My first two books, "The Wolves of Solomon," and sequel "Wolf" are set in the middle ages and revolve around the fall of the enigmatic Knights Templar, with a supernatural theme.
I have just started the prequel to "The Wolves of Solomon."

Cunningly interwoven tale of supernatural fiction and historical fact ...

This is an engaging tale of fiction within an historical setting - who will come out on top? Will King Philippe have his way helped by the vengeful and avaricious La Quartière or is there hope in the end? What is the strange attraction between Kit and Caradas? Read on...
