Clarence Manning is a working stiff and a borderline alcoholic. Life has left him jaded. Yet he smells rose petals on the night wind...sees them falling from the sky. When three supernatural beings pay him a visit, Clarence scoffs at their divine nature. The Blue God, Trujillo, matches Clarence's apathy with divine, razor-like arrogance. Lenore, the god of yellow light, bestows the most loving companion. And Donatello, The Red God, offers loyalty and friendship in a way he's never known. But Clarence wants no part of divine intervention, and he rebukes the gods with a vengeance. When Trujillo proposes war, Clarence taps into his own god-like power, unleashing an entity born from his very own past, a creature of shadow that spells annihilation for the gods, mankind, and the very fabric of reality.
