No Gods Only Daimons takes place in a world close to our own with near-future tech and magic violently mixed in. On this Earth, not-America is engaged in an asymmetric war with not-Islam. The main character Luke Landon is part of a paranormal/paramilitary outfit engaged in spying and small-scale military operations for the not-U.S. government.
When Landon’s team is sent to knock off a Persian mage attempting a powerful summoning, his future career is drastically altered. It turns out the mage was summoning an archangel, and succeeded. But, in a result no one expected, the archangel kills the summoning mage, passes judgment on all his comrades, and secretly marks Landon as his agent, giving him tremendous power and a not-clearly-defined mission. That making such a covenant with a supernatural creature is a crime in Hesperia (not-America) . . . a capital crime, is yet another complication in Landon’s life
After mitigating the damage of a terrorist attack on Hesperia, Landon works both for the Hesperian government and Al-Hakem (the archangel) to track back the planners and funders of the attack and prevent more.
