The African Elephant and Set
A Tyrant Comics Crossover Novel
When seventeen-year-old Jahlil Cross is initiated into the mysterious Order of Adam, he discovers that the world is ruled by far more than governments and courts. Hidden behind history lies the Ember Rite, an ancient Masonic order divided between two competing philosophies: the Elephant Path, which preserves memory, discipline, and responsibility, and the Set Path, which promises freedom through chaos and the rejection of tradition.
As a series of demonic possessions spreads through Detroit and secret Masonic courts begin passing judgments beyond the reach of ordinary law, Jahlil finds himself at the center of a spiritual conflict that threatens not only his future but the future of humanity itself.
His guide is Sam Hane, a seasoned Mason and warrior who understands that every degree earned carries both power and responsibility. While Sam trains the next generation, another battle unfolds in the shadows.
Psychic detective Carru Nasu of Tyrant Comics uncovers evidence that a hidden judicial empire is manipulating both civil governments and Masonic institutions. Together with Stephanie Meyer, heir to the Hydrogen Society and daughter of hydrogen pioneer Stanley Meyer, he discovers that ancient rituals, advanced technology, and forbidden glyphs have been fused into weapons capable of opening gateways to supernatural forces.
As their investigations converge, an even darker conspiracy emerges. The Black Mages Guild, corrupt high-degree judges, and powerful political factions seek to rewrite the laws governing both Earth and the spiritual world. Their ultimate goal is to erase the foundations of justice itself and replace them with a new order ruled through fear, manipulation, and absolute authority.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Sam Hane, Carru Nasu, Stephanie Meyer, Jahlil Cross, and heroes from across the Tyrant Comics universe must unite before the ancient conflict between Elephant and Set consumes civilization.
Blending courtroom intrigue, supernatural mystery, science fiction, detective fiction, martial arts, and epic fantasy, The African Elephant and Set is the first major crossover event of the Tyrant Comics Universe, bringing together the worlds of Sam Hane, Hydrogen-Man, Tyrant Comics, and Black People Are Great! in a battle where memory confronts chaos, truth challenges deception, and the future of justice hangs in the balance.
In a universe where every oath has power and every judgment shapes reality, the greatest battle is not fought with swords—but with the meaning of law itself.
