Táto séria sleduje osudy neochotného hrdinu, ktorý je posledným z prastarého rádu bojovníkov. Geneticky jedinečný, je predurčený k tomu, aby držal Luciferov meč a bránil svet pred silami temnoty. Boj medzi svetlom a tmou sa stáva jeho každodennou realitou, kde musí čeliť svojim vlastným pochybnostiam aj hrozivým démonickým silám. Je dosť silný na to, aby odvrátil nadchádzajúci temný vek?
Richard Oort is a cop. He's also the last Paladin: product of a genetic fluke that enables him to wield Lucifer's sword. A reluctant hero, fated to defend the world against demonic forces that threaten to plunge us into another Dark Age, he becomes a central figure in the battle between Light and Darkness. But is he strong enough?
Richard Oort, now CEO of Lumina Enterprises, has learned that an interdimensional gate has given the terrifying and grotesquely gluttonous Old Ones access to our universe. Richard tries to get the US government to intervene before a rising tide of irrationality abetted by religious leaders and spiritual hucksters reduces humanity to madness.
The final battle approaches, the light of science and reason against an ancient supernatural army poised to destroy the world. Overwhelmed after a series of catastrophic events, Richard Oort is still determined to fight the horrific Old Ones.
