Saints

Sanctified in the Shadows Summary

For seven hundred years, they have operated in the shadows.

Descended from the Knights Templar who survived Black Friday, the Saints abandoned crown and church and rewrote their charter. Fight evil wherever it flourishes. No flag. No politics. No religion. Only the mission.

They existed across centuries without official recognition.

When a covert operation implodes, Rodney Nicholas is burned by the very government he served. Disavowed. Erased. Left to disappear.

Instead, he stumbles into something worse.

A trafficking network with political insulation.

His path collides with the Saints. An order that does not collect intelligence from afar or lobby for justice in the halls of congress. They kick in doors. Dismantle operations. And remove evil wherever they can.

Given the choice between vanishing again or taking an oath older than the country that betrayed him, he chooses the oath.

What follows is a relentless campaign of targeted raids, rescues, and hits against an enemy that believed itself to be untouchable.

The Saints aren't vigilantes.

They aren't militia.

They are an order at war. And they have been perfecting their craft for centuries.
