As an ancient Sumerian god, Sin was one of the most powerful among his pantheon. . . Until the night Artemis brutally stole his godhood and left him for dead. For millennia, this ex-god turned Dark-Hunter has dreamed only of regaining his powers and seeking revenge on Artemis. If only life were that simple. Unfortunately he has bigger fish--or in Sin's case--demons, to fry. The lethal gallu that were buried by his pantheon are now stirring and they are hungry for human flesh. Their goal is to destroy mankind and anyone else who gets in their way. Sin is the only one who can stop them—that is if a certain woman doesn't kill him first. Unfortunately, Sin discovers that now he must rely on her or witness an annihilation of biblical proportions. Enemies have always made strange bedfellows, but never more so than when the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Now a man who knows only betrayal must trust the one person most likely to hand him to the demons. Artemis may have stolen his godhood, but this one has stolen his heart. The only question is will she keep it or feed it to the ones who want him dead?

The story of a child who cries for help in the dark in hope to find a way to the light without knowing that he is part of that darkness and light himself. The child was born between two tribes, darkness tribe and lightning tribe. His mother, Adjo, wandered off from the darkness tribe to meet her lover, who was the child's father, Kafui, from the lightning tribe. They both knew their union could be fatal because of the differences of their tribes, but their love blinded them to know how different they were, their inevitable love was rejected by both the darkness tribe and lightning tribe. Worried of the outcome of their forbidden love, they suddenly got scared and fled from the mistake they had made. The two lovers realized how their difference could not match; they both rejoined their tribes in fear to meet again, but it was too late because the seed of their love already began to sprout into an unborn child. From their inevitable love came a newborn child who was a combination of the two tribes of darkness and lightning, which the two tribes decided to eliminate. There was an elder woman in the darkness tribe named Pauline who seemed to be the child's grandmother and who had supernatural powers that could balance both darkness and lightning. The elder woman then secretly took the child for fear that both the lightning and darkness tribes could destroy the child and that the mother could not be able to balance the two combinations of darkness and lightning within the child and protect him at the same time. The elder woman Pauline escaped to many different tribes to raise the child; she named the child Komla, meaning the birth of two strong powers. Growing up, Komla realized he was part of the darkness and lightning who rejected him and that he lost the only sparkle of light that cared and protected him. He felt lonely, and out of blame, he projected himself into a nocturnal darkness.
