Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Three Parts Dead is the first book of the Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone. Its basic plot is: God is Dead, and His estate is contested.When Kos Everburning is found dead by His priesthood, the prestigious Concern of Kelethras, Albrecht and Ao is called in to salvage something of the situation with their Necromantic arts. Representing the firm are junior partner Elayne Kevarian and our protagonist, probational new hire Tara Abernathy.Tara was recently expelled from the Hidden Schools, a university of the Craft (the local name for magic) hidden above the clouds. Given she was expelled right off the balcony of said flying school, it's clear that she has made some powerful enemies, and her future employment as a practitioner of the Craft is by no means certain; she badly needs to impress her new employers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Within her first few hours on the job, Tara narrowly survives plummeting from the heavens again, befriends a powerful vampire, is forced by circumstances to steal a gargoyle's face, and acquires accomplices in a chain-smoking priest and a junkie cop. Then things get complicated.Followed in the series by Two Serpents Rise. See the series' page for tropes that are common to the whole Craft Sequence.

Exploited by Elayne Kevarian when Alexander Denovo robs her of her will — once again. Knowing his modus operandi she walks into their dinner prepared and allows it to happen in order to entice him into telling her his plans and underestimating her and plants the seed that eventually destroys him for good.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Alexander Denovo is one of the greatest Craftsmen in history. And it's not enough for him. He's trying to find a way to become a god while using his mind-control Craft to avoid the usual godly weaknesses.
