Brogan and Lula Gauge have spent a lifetime traveling Route 66, hunting the monsters that attacked them and left Brogan an earthbound spirit and Lula a near-vampire. They never wanted to catch the attention of Cupid, the god of connections and destruction. They never expected the god to want to strike a deal with them, either. Cupid's deal brought Brogan back to life, but now they owe the god a favor. They must find the spell book of the gods. A book of magic so powerful, it could destroy the world.

Pissing off God comes with consequences, which should have been obvious in hindsight. For Loki and Lucifer, it’s a victory—and the least of their problems. Building an infernal army is a lot harder when trying to fit it around eight daily hours of mind-numbing labor, uncooperative fugitive deities, and competing layers of escalating sabotage. Even worse, behind its bland corporate veneer, Providence is anything but that: its deities brim with magic, secrets, and ancient scars. The career path is soul-destroying.

Nobody sane would promote Loki to corporate leadership—which is why he has to do it himself. All the better to oversee its downfall from within. But life at the top comes with its own set of challenges as divine tensions become public and Providence's carefully maintained circle of accountability begins to fail. Amid accelerating external threats, murky executive maneuvering, and the loss of a key asset, Loki, Lucifer, and their co-conspirators need the perfect plan. And they need it fast.

The gods are real and incorporated. Providence is a profitable global industry. For Loki, three hundred years is a long time to be trapped in divinity's answer to customer service, especially when the PR machine makes him out to be the bad guy. But that's what happens when you lose a war. All he has to do to regain his godly powers is avoid the seers, outwit the executives, and win a rematch against public perception. Easy.

When the dreams came, Kara Manning thought they were just nightmares of blood, murder, and destruction. A product of too much pizza and action movies on her new TV.

She had no idea that the vampires of her horror dreams were real or that she was a Valkyrie, whatever the hell that was.

But the Bastion has secrets. The Bastion has a destiny.
