Three Parts Dead

In the vibrant, magic-infused metropolis of Alt Coulumb, gods are integral to the city's infrastructure and its citizens' daily lives. When Kos, the fire god responsible for powering the entire city, inexplicably dies, chaos looms. Enter Tara Abernathy, a first-year associate at the prestigious necromantic law firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao. Her impossible task: resurrect the dead deity before Alt Coulumb's steam generators fail, its trains halt, and its four million inhabitants descend into riot and anarchy. Aided by Abelard, Kos's chain-smoking, faith-shaken priest, Tara quickly discovers that Kos wasn't merely dead, but murdered. Their investigation plunges them into Alt Coulumb's complex legal system, forcing them to navigate treacherous courts, powerful factions, and the dangerous truth behind a god's demise. As they seek justice, Tara and Abelard's partnership, their lives, and the very survival of Alt Coulumb hang in the balance in a world where lawyers wield lightning, souls are currency, and cities are built on the remnants of fallen gods.
