A series of steampunk-fantasy novels by Alan Campbell, previously a member of the team who created the Grand Theft Auto games.Taking place in a particularly Crapsack World, the series begins in the peculiar city of Deepgate, a town built on a series of chains that span a vast abyss. Over three thousand years ago, the goddess who reigns over Heaven sealed it against humankind, damning all souls to Hell. Seven of her sons rebelled against her, and after a long war, they were cast out of Heaven as well. The oldest of those gods, Ulcis, is said to reside in the abyss below Deepgate; its church worships him, and the dead of Deepgate are sent down to him to give him an army for his second rebellion. After all, if your choice is to be the minion of a fallen god or to go to Hell, the former probably sounds like a much better idea.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Of course, not everyone is particularly supportive of this idea. The Heshette, desert tribes who live outside of Deepgate, still worship the goddess and consider the people of the city to be the worst of heretics; the tribes and the city have been warring off and on for the past several centuries. Deepgate has been able to stay independent because of the power of the Spine—emotionless assassins specializing in poison—and Ulcis' archons, battle angels who have lived in the city since its creation.At the outset of the series, though, the archons have been dwindling in number, and Deepgate has come to rely on airship technology for their wars instead. Only two angels remain: One is sixteen-year-old Dill, who has lived a cloistered life in Deepgate's church, forbidden even from learning how to fly. He's pretty frustrated with the times having shunted him aside, and would love his own chance for adventure. His wish is granted when the church higher-ups assign Rachel, a scapegoat Spine, to teach him about combat—just when strange happenings have started to occur across the city.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Oh, and have we mentioned yet that the only other angel is an Ax-Crazy serial murderer who's been the scourge of Deepgate for the past three thousand years?The Deepgate Codex series has four installments upon its conclusion this year: the three main books Scar Night, Iron Angel, and God of Clocks, as well as the novella Lye Street, which explores a bit of Carnival's past and introduces the Greene family. Interviews with the author can be found here and here. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Deepgate Codex / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Suffered by Carnival, of all people a third of the way through Iron Angel. Justified,however, because it's said straight in the prologue of Iron Angel that Anchor has absorbed as many souls as those in the Labyrinth ( i.e. Hell). Carnival has drunk many souls but not that many. | |

Blood Magic | |
| Deepgate Codex / int_270c1778 | comment |
Blood Magic: Angelwine is made from the blood of 13 people. (Blood is commonly referred to as 'soul' in the book; bodies drained of blood do not get to join Ulcis's army. This is what drives the B plot in Scar Night.) An injection of it is sufficient to bring Dill back to life. Though granted it does seem to work a bit differently for angels and humans. Humans it makes functionally immortal. Poor Carnival needs it, but has to get her fix by draining someone's blood once a month. Her body is covered in scars gouged into her body as repentance after each kill. | |

Chained Heat: Towards the end of Scar Night, Rachel and Carnival are chained together by the ankle. Half of the time, the vitriolic situation gives Character Development to them both and their relationship. The other half, this leads to Back-to-Back Badasses. But whenever their priorities diverge, things get a little messy. | |

Person of Mass Destruction: Carnival, so goddamn much—just look at her other tropes on this page! She frightened off a river! That was essentially a young god. That had no true physical form and for all intents and purposes could not be killed or even harmed.. John Anchor has this as his Running Gag, either due to his Juggernaut nature or because He's lugging around a god's skyship via rope. | |

Viewers Are Geniuses: Most of the plot can be understood at face value, but a lot of important worldbuilding details are subtextual, especially all angels having their mothers' souls. Of course, the main plot sometimes gets so convoluted that the characters themselves complain that they don't get what's going on anymore. | |

Unstoppable Rage | |
| Deepgate Codex / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Unstoppable Rage: Carnival is a fan of this. Serial Escalation kicks in halfway through God of Clocks, when she escapes Cospinol's pot—from that moment to the end of the book. And this from the woman the fans describe as pure, distilled CMOA on her own. It's just that glorious. | |

TriangRelations | |
| Deepgate Codex / int_c90381e3 | comment |
Triang Relations: Rachel, Carnival, and Dill seem to be at point 8. There's never an Official Couple, and all the ships have at least one big obstruction by the end of God of Clocks. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Really, Carnival had been in that pot of boiling water for how long? And how many bones did she have to re-break as soon as she got out? Clearly somebody had to pay. | |

You Are Not Alone: Rachel combines this with slight Get A Hold Of Yourself Man (without the slap) in her attempt to break Carnival out of her Heroic BSoD towards the end of Scar Night. It's shown in Iron Angel that Carnival took this to heart. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Carnival. And it's progressive amnesia, too. At the end of the first book, it's implied that Ulcis was the one who prevented her from fully remembering her childhood (and much of anything else traumatic). | |

| Deepgate Codex / int_ebf8fc6 | comment |
Not a Morning Person: In a macabre variant, right after Carnival refreshes her life by draining someone's blood, she can usually be found staggering around in a daze, not really comprehending what's going on around her and unable to remember very much. She's very much Not A Rebirth Person. | |
