The Wanderer

Adam, a rich and reclusive financier living in a country house in a rural backwater near Salzburg, Austria, gets a visit from his brother Zachary, from whom he was separated at birth. Zachary quickly pins him to a tree with an ancient spear through the chest. As the wounds miraculously heal, Adam begins to remember his past life as a knight a thousand years ago... but at the same time, the people he knows start dying around him. To save his friends' lives, Adam decides to leave his home and become a wanderering knight errant.

In his travels, Adam meets a young woman recently released from an asylum for the criminally insane. Some years before, she had been framed for a murder she didn't commit... and history seems to be repeating itself, so that she needs Adam's help and protection.

Adam is in Bavaria, where he meets a gang of bikers and helps an old man the bikers are trying to drive out of his home, confronting the gang in a rough part of Munich. Meanwhile, Godbold faces a difficult wrestling match and finds himself fighting Beatrice, who has morphed into another shape.

Adam meets a father who is desperately anxious to find his missing daughter, and he helps in the search for her - but he finds out too late that the woman is a psychiatrist and the man is a former patient who is stalking her. Meanwhile, Adam continues the hunt for Zachary's grave and makes a little progress.

Zachary leads Adam into an ancient castle furnished as it would have been a thousand years before and calls up the shade of a fighter who once almost killed Adam long ago. As a result, Adam's memories of his past life get better. In particular, he remembers the Lady Clare, who nursed him after the fight and whom he planned to marry. Then Adam realizes he still loves her.

The present-day Clare, who is a photographer living in Spain, is planning to marry her Spanish boyfriend, but Zachary steps in to stop the marriage from happening. Clare cancels her wedding, to the distress of her parents. Meanwhile, Adam finds out that in his past life he did marry Clare, and Zachary plans a kidnapping. Clare meets Adam and does not understand how she knows him. Adam helps to rescue her and departs - but Clare makes up her mind to find him again.
