Led by the Chancela family and dedicated to defending the Santos ziggurat, they struggle to keep its magic free of anyone’s control, no matter the cost. And in the middle is the strange artifact that seems to be the key to everything. The year is 2031. The place is Santos, Brazil. The future is up in the air.
