Welcome to Umberia, a land where magick is as potent as one can maintain interest, where dogheaded sailors traverse the vast seas, and where the gods sent a great flood that nearly destroyed the world.
Enter Jake, Tessa and Charlie, three friends from California, who have no idea how they got there or what the strange disk like scars that have suddenly appeared
on their backs mean.
It isn't long before certain interests pray on the three "smoothskins" from elsewhere and put the friends to the test on whether or not to help with the crusade to kill the gods, and who to trust meanwhile.
Jake is pretty sure that the minotaur in charge is trying to split them apart, but can't fathom why. His only hope lies in keeping his two friends on his side and discovering the significance of the scars on their backs, which the locals call godsigns, before it's too late.
