The story pits modern warfare against supernatural forces: ten‑year‑old twins command armies that resemble mythical beings, and a dragon appears amid the chaos. Through the artwork of twins Asaf and Tomer Hanuka and Boaz Lavie's narrative, readers experience a fast‑paced, brutal, and visually striking journey that explores the consequences of returning to a world where ancient powers collide with contemporary conflict.
