Patrick Gawain knows monsters. He's seen plenty of the human sort
in the Holy Lands, and as he sails home from The First Crusade, a
hooded apparition begins to stalk him. Convinced that he's lost his
mind, he holes up in a monastery to convalesce and, if recovery
proves impossible, to hide his demons from the world. But a
stranger comes to find him and presents a barely credible
invitation: travel to Avalon and serve with the Avangarde, an order
of knights sworn to protect young scholars from around the world.
Thinking it will be a fresh start, Patrick agrees, and soon
discovers that Avalon is more than a myth; it is the site of a
vibrant secret academy - and it's also full of ghosts, goblins, and
talking wolves. He can capably protect the castle from the island's
supernatural beasts, but in the relative peace of the academy life,
his hooded demon returns and his troubled heart causes him to
sabotage the love of a young woman, Katherina. When an ancient
being with sinister designs for the island infiltrates the academy,
Patrick is the first to suspect its true nature when it begins its
quest by seducing Katherina. Patrick soon learns that before he can
defeat monsters, he must first defeat his personal demons.
