the story

These are the Protectors

Born from one woman’s desperate wish, succubi exist for a singular purpose: to drain lust from those who twist it into violence, cruelty, and control.

Gifted with the magic of sun and earth, they have protected humanity for centuries, hidden in the shimmer of the trees.

Until now.

A new kind of human has emerged: one immune to their power.

As succubi begin to vanish without a trace, the Protectors are forced into the open, hunted by those they can no longer stop.

Amara, Nua, Deonne, and Ekpen have sworn to fight for their own at any cost.

But loyalty fractures under pressure when love crosses forbidden lines and magic begins to spiral and splinter.

Then, one of their own is taken. With the future of succubi and humanity hanging in the balance, they must answer one question:

Who Protects the Protectors?
