Genesis:
Who are “The Alerians – Dark Progeny?”
“The Nephilim were on the Earth in those days
– and also afterward – when the Sons of
God went to
the daughters
of men and had children by them.
They were the
heroes of old, men of renown.” NIV Gen. 6:4
Biblical scholars espouse a
number of opinions about the literal and theological meaning of this verse.
Some believe “sons of God” were those men who were believers, attempting to
live according to The One God’s laws. Continuing with this interpretation, the
“daughters of men” were unbelievers who just happened to be female and sired
the children of these otherwise “Godly” men. As a paranormal romance writer,
however, I find the other group of scholars’ beliefs much more interesting.
According to some, the
Nephilim were the offspring of angels, able to shift their naturally genderless
form, and sire offspring with human women. As this coupling was forbidden, the
offspring were cursed, evil, and eventually banished from the earth. In fact,
some believe they were the main catalyst for The Great Deluge. They brought so
much evil into the world that the great flood occurred to destroy them and
cleanse the earth (dark progeny).
Imagine angelic beings with
knowledge and abilities far beyond human understanding siring children with
human women. What would these children be like? “The Alerians – Dark Progeny.” Survivors
- Descendants of the original Nephilim.
Their home is a dimension set apart from heaven called Aleria. There,
they live with the curse of their ancestors. As repentance for their
forefathers’ sins, they have lived for centuries, engaged in the war against
unrepentant fallen angels.
Human interaction is
forbidden, and they face eventual extinction. Only one female is born for every
500 males. These females are treated like royalty, mating with the highest
ranking males. The majority of males live as warriors and “Seekers,” no hope of
ever feeling the touch of a woman. But things are about to change…
Jordan Taylor is a feisty, take charge,
Rubinesque beauty with a tough façade, but after a string of lackluster
relationships, her dream of a man who truly loves and appreciates her strength
seems impossible…Until she meets Canaan, the man her fiancé claims is his best
friend! Instinctively, she knows her neat, if lackluster life is about to
change.
Born more than 200 years ago, Canaan
looks like an angel but he’s far from it. In his world, the ratio of men to
women is 500 to 1, and although he’s a superior being, he’s willing to break
the most sacred law of his brothers, even drink human blood, to have one meant
for him alone.When he meets Jordan, he knows she’s the one he’s been searching
for. To claim her, Canaan will
have to betray his friend, humble himself enough to win her love, and risk his
very life.
Jordan woke suddenly and sat up in her bed. She rubbed at her
eyes to make sure she saw what she thought she saw. “You! What are you…? How
did you…? Get out of my room!” She stood up and stalked toward
him when he just sat there, that smirk apparently tattooed on his face, a face
too handsome to belong to such a lowlife.
Canaan’s smirk-smile widened as she got closer. He was looking
at her body, and some of his teeth didn’t look right. She didn’t have the
presence of mind to identify just what was wrong, though. Jordan glanced down
and was immediately reminded that she had slept in the nude.
