Synopsis

Blood. Steel. Shadows. When Deputy Rick Becker answered a routine 9-1-1 call in the foothills of South Carolina, he never imagined it would end with fangs in his flesh and the curse of the wolf in his blood. A year later, after battles with cryptids, nightmares, and his own savage nature, Rick is drawn across the ocean into the heart of a war older than kingdoms. Summoned to London, he finds himself thrust into the ranks of G.R.A.I.L.—the Guards Regiment for Anomaly Investigation and Liquidation—an elite brotherhood forged from Britain’s finest soldiers, sworn to hold the line eternal against monsters that should not exist. But even among legends, Rick is something more: a wolf bound to the bloodline of the Centurion, cursed at Calvary. Yet darker powers stir. Legends whispered in firelight speak of a weapon tied to the fate of kings—a blade hidden since the age of myth. Ancient foes, older than empires, move to claim it, and with every battle, the man and the wolf within Rick edge closer to war. From brutal clashes in blood-soaked villages to a final stand at a forgotten stronghold, Rick must decide whether to embrace the beast—or be devoured by it. For in the end, only one truth remains: the war against evil is eternal, and those who stand the line must never falter. The hunt has begun. The curse waits. And the night howls for blood.
