Souleymane Adabor was born in the City of Accra, Ghana, in 1895. He was
a dockworker, unhappily employed by wealthy British shipping magnate
Malcolm Lincolnshire in 1930, until a mysterious man named Abdullahi
Osman approaches him. It was a meeting that would change the course of
Souleymane's destiny. As it turns out, Osman is one of the Ayaanle,
powerful Immortal beings who were once the Intermediaries between Gods
and Men in the pre-Islamic Horn of Africa. With Mr. Osman as his guide,
Souleymane discovers the hidden world of the Supernatural. The Monsters
of Myth and Legend are real, and they need protection. Not every human
being is a good soul, and not every Monster is hell-bent on world
domination. Souleymane is thus inducted into the Order of the
Protectors, men and women sworn to protect peaceful Monsters from
hostile humans since time immemorial. The Protectors are magically
augmented and blessed with special abilities such as superhuman
strength, accelerated healing and sharp senses, to aid them in their
holy mission. All of those gifts might not be enough for Souleymane as
he battles a formidable evil in the cutthroat, plague-ravaged world of
twenty-first century Earth.
