Summary
The Councilor had said he had no more than a few hours; more than a day had passed. Though Gabriel could physically feel the power draining from him, death never came. Instead, he noted a strange gnawing in his stomach that grew by the hour, a foreign dryness to his mouth. Opening his groggy eyes, he peered down at the rippling water. His reflection was missing its halo and wings.
But his mind hardly even processed the fact; he looked into the cool, clear water, and for the first time in the entirety of his existence, his body was begging him to drink.
With dawning horror, Gabriel realized it. He was not dying—he was something worse.
He was mortal.
—
Forced to work together to survive in the harsh and increasingly empty landscape of Hell, Gabriel and V1 navigate desires neither of them were built to have, and learn how to find purpose in a purposeless world.Series

Summary
Tim opened a book he shouldn't have, and now has the last remaining god in the universe stuck in his head.
In the process of dealing with that, he will come up against invading deities, be marked by the Desolation, and turn—reluctantly—to the Magnus Institute for help.
There is a lot going on here. Tim feels out of his league. He is. And lately, he's unnervingly certain that maybe, he should just burn it all down...

Summary
Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.
He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.
The task proves more complicated than he thought.
