A young man known as Z lives in the Gray Forest, located on Kaort Island in the middle of the Pacific, and with the exception of him and his companions, no one has ever left that forest alive. What no one knows is that a great war between the Olympic gods is about to happen. Each god is entitled to a "chosen one", which is the body he will use during war. Z is the chosen of the God of the Underworld, Hades. However, Hades cannot use Z's body as he is banished to the underworld, and therefore cannot leave it. With that, Z will have to fight the gods in the name of Hades. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to beat them.

Clara dá aulas de português para estrangeiros e faz magia desde pequena. Joana só sabe da primeira parte. Até aparecer para um café dizendo que visitou a escola onde a amiga trabalha, numa cidade que não aparece no mapa. A primeira pista está num material didático: alguém está ensinando pessoas comuns a encontrar lugares mágicos sem explicar o que vão descobrir. Os percursos levam a uma biblioteca fechada, documentos alterados e moradores que não querem ver suas casas transformadas em cenário de exercício. Com a confiança da amiga abalada, Clara precisa descobrir quem está distribuindo aquelas instruções e por quê. E explicar há quanto tempo vinha deixando Joana do lado de fora.
