Prologue

For centuries, there was a peaceful existence between the underworld and the mortal world; between dark lords and man.

Until one day there was a new clan that reached the town directly above them.

They had powers that were appealing to some of the dark lords that resided below… but they were all interested in a particular one: the son of the Chief who had enhanced strength that was unmatched.

A certain young ambitious king named Hunter was greedy and wanted those powers, wanted to be the king of kings over all his kind and man.

But two things stood in his way: his good friend - a fellow king - Mark Calaway who had the same ambitions as him and the son of the Chief himself.

So with his cunningness, Hunter offered a marriage between both kingdoms so that their sons could lead their combined forces against the said new clan; Samoans they were called. They were also instructed to bring home the blood of the Chief's son.

With it, they would be a force not to be reckoned with.

Unfortunately, Prince Jon - only son of King Mark - had no plans to conquer anything or marry for anything other than love.

His escape from the underworld and ending up at the front door of Chief Anoa'i would set about a war that would rage across lands… and time.
