Richard Oort seems like a normal police officer. But while on patrol he defends a terrified young woman fleeing something impossible: beings that can only be described as monsters. In saving the beautiful Rhianna, he is drawn into the machinations of a mysterious billionaire who just might be Prometheus and Lucifer, and who claims to be waging a millennia-old war on the side of reason and light, defending humanity from others of his kind who want nothing more than to see us destroy ourselves with superstition and fear. Richard is a Paladin, a genetic fluke that enables him to wield Lucifer’s sword, and is forced to become a central figure in the battle between Light and Darkness. But is he strong enough to bear the burden?
