Samuel Parker and the New Templars

Sam Parker sees many weird things, but he has never heard a dog talk. He knows nothing of his parents, has never used a supernatural sword, and has never moved a coin with his mind. All he knows is the nuns think he is crazy, the doctor over medicates him, and the other orphans shun him like the plague. His best day of the year is when he gets socks for Christmas. But Sam’s adoption changes everything. His new father didn’t want just any kid from the orphanage: he wants the kid with the unusual birthmark. For it’s the tiny double cross that marks Sam as special. With his new life, he finds not only family, supernatural powers, and news of his mysterious past, but also a great responsibility he must embrace. . . or die trying.
