Synopsis
In a world inspired by pre-Columbian American civilizations, a young man blinded and scarred in a ritual as a child carries a god of shadow within him, destined to exact vengeance on the Sun Priest's holy city during a winter solstice eclipse. A sea captain, a political schemer, and a warrior priestess find their fates converging as ancient powers awaken.
