When the Sun Lord chooses an ordinary man to bear a blessing, Dax finds himself and a local priest transformed into religious celebrities in their kingdom. But the blessing is also a curse, and Dax and Sheridan are doomed to die in a few months' time, all the while developing holy powers and finding love in a world where deities play with mortal affairs and touch the very heart of humanity. As death looms over them, they discover a powerful love between them that will shape both of their destinies. When the curse of the mark grows stronger, they come face to face with the darkness of eons, where love - and the true power of the Sun Lord - fulfills the prophecy of the Sun Mark and they transcend to Paradise, where another life awaits them.
