Killdeer was on an expedition in Tibet when tragedy struck. Hidden in the mountains the adventurers came across a ruined village, and then something terrible came through the mountain pass and killed everyone. Everyone except Killdeer.
When Killdeer woke up he found a strange mark had been burned onto his back and after that his whole life went to hell.
Months later he finds himself in a mental institution in England with no idea how he got there, but worse, every morning he wakes up with another mark on his back. And then come the visions and dreams and he comes to understand he has been chosen. But chosen for what?
Mick Cabrini is Killdeer's best friend and only hope and together they must unravel the secret of what the visions and the marks mean before it is too late.
