Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The third Urban Fantasy novel in the Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone.On the island of Kavekana, Kai builds gods to order, then hands them to others to maintain. Her creations aren't conscious and lack their own wills and voices, but they accept sacrifices, and protect their worshippers from other gods—perfect vehicles for Craftsmen and Craftswomen operating in the divinely controlled Old World. When Kai sees one of her creations dying and tries to save her, she's grievously injured—then sidelined from the business entirely, her near-suicidal rescue attempt offered up as proof of her instability. But when Kai gets tired of hearing her boss, her coworkers, and her ex-boyfriend call her crazy, and starts digging into the reasons her creations die, she uncovers a conspiracy of silence and fear—which will crush her, if Kai can't stop it first.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Preceded by Three Parts Dead and Two Serpents Rise, followed by Last First Snow. See the series' page for tropes that are common to the whole Craft Sequence.

Chekhov's Gun: At one point, Kai offhandedly mentions that she's trans. This becomes important later when she is trapped inside a Penitent. Because she's already used to the whole world telling her she's something she's not, she can resist it better than most. The scar that Teo has from nearly being sacrificed by Temoc in Two Serpents Rise - it's what helps her escape from her Penitent.

Deity of Human Origin: The priests of Kavekana make their profession out of building “idols”, not-quite-sentient mini-gods that fulfill the same purpose as offshore bank accounts for wealthy clients. The highest tiers of the priesthood have a vested interest in covering up the fact that putting all those mini-gods together ended up accidentally bootstrapping a real god into existence.

Disabled Deity: Mako. He was badly wounded in the God Wars and is lucky to have survived in the first place, so he hasn't got the power to fix himself.
