We all have those moments that define us, those moments that make us who we are, and for Matthew Cornelius Riley one such moment came on a dark night in August nearly twenty-five years ago.
The events of that evening would drive him into the waiting arms of the Templar Order, would help him rise through the ranks to become not just a member of the Echo Team but the executive officer to its infamous commander, Cade Williams.
This is the story of that fateful night.
(The events of Flesh and Bone take place shortly after those in book three, A Tear in the Sky)
