A painting of a seagull walking brazenly out of a convenience store holding a bag of potato chips in beak. In her wake a brown tabby bodega cat is sitting shocked on top of two crates of fruit (but is not about to get up and do anything.) A small white dog in smaller green glasses also watches shocked from the floor. The shelves are stocked floor to ceiling with snacks.

The main character of Blood of the Gods, Stranger. Stranger has curly black hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. They are wearing a blue shirt and brown pants. They are holding a wooden sword. Stranger is rubbing the back of their neck with their other hand, and they're staring offscreen to the left, while their body faces to the right.

Text reads:

Meet...
Stranger
They/Them
"We'll start slow. Do you know your name?"
They squeezed their eyes shut and racked their empty, clouded mind. Did they have a name? They must. When they opened their eyes, they shot Karina a hopeless look and shook their head.

An illustration of a pale skinned fat woman with shoulder length brown hair. She is wearing a pink tee shirt and brown pants, and is holding a knife with a wavy blade.

Text reads:

Meet...
Karina
She/ Her

Karina perused salvager stalls.
The craft fascinated her. What all existed beneath the endless waves? She'd read tales of ancient buildings so tall they pierced the sky, lights so bright they competed with the stars, forests so large people got lost within them. She couldn't fathom it. The Great Flood had taken almost everything.

Pitching an amnesia story is so hard. Like, who’s the main character? Well, that’s a major spoiler. And what’s the main character doing? Well…that’s also a major spoiler. So what’s the basic plot, then? Uh… spoiler?

Stranger’s face is mostly obscured, while Jonah has a serene expression on his face.

Stranger, a character with wavy black hair, holds up a light blue phone. A man stands behind them, his bicep curled around their face.
