Also, any physical harm caused by one Dark Hunter to another will cause the first Dark Hunter to suffer the same physical pain or hurt tenfold. They cannot be in close proximity to each other for more than a short amount of time without draining each other's powers. The Dark Hunters work individually, each of them having a territory to watch over. If the Daimon is not slain soon after taking the human's soul, the soul will die from being in the wrong vessel and be unable to pass onto whichever afterlife they were meant to go to upon their death. When a Dark Hunter slays a Daimon, they release any human souls that the Daimon has stolen, provided that the Dark Hunter finds the Daimon fast enough. After those 24 hours are up, they must do their duty to mankind and hunt down the Daimons that prey on the humans.

In exchange for their soul and service in her Dark Hunter army, Artemis gives them 24 hours to seek their revenge against those who betrayed them. Upon arriving, she offers the person a choice: true death or trading their soul to her to be resurrected as a Dark Hunter. At the moment of their death, their soul will cry out for vengeance loudly enough to be heard by Artemis on Mount Olympus. Not just anyone may become a Dark Hunter, nor is the process easy.Ī person must die as the direct result of a terrible betrayal, such as their best friend or a family member killing them in a brutal way. Knowing this, she created her immortal warriors and manipulated him into leading, training, and being responsible for them. She knew of Acheron's love and compassion for humans and his unwillingness to allow others to suffer when he could stop it. Once they've had their revenge, they are dedicated to defending mankind against Daimons (a psychic race cursed by Apollo) and other preternatural enemies. The Dark-Hunters are immortal warriors who sell their souls to the Greek goddess Artemis for an Act of Vengeance against the one who murdered them. Kenyon began writing the series in 1986 in horror, fantasy and science fiction magazines. Dark-Hunter is a term from a paranormal romance and fantasy series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
