Theyll have to operate under the radarQuanlom is being torn apart by civil war and the US military isnt strictly supposed to be there. With no career prospects and a baby on the way Mark finds himself making the worst mistake of his life and signing on with Jason. What awaits him in Quanlom is going to change everything. What awaits him in Quanlom is weirdness of the highest order: a civil war led by ten-year-old twins wielding something that looks a lot like magic leading an army of warriors who look a lot like gods. What awaits him in Quanlom is an actual goddamn dragon. From world-renowned artists Asaf and Tomer Hanuka (twins whose magic powers are strictly confined to pen and paper) and Boaz Lavie The Divine is a fast-paced brutal and breathlessly beautiful portrait of a world where ancient powers vie with modern warfare and nobody escapes unscathed.
