Charlie just wanted to reconnect with his adopted sister, Adriana. Adriana just wanted to avenge her birth mother by killing the six gods that control the universe and ending their tyrannical reign. But then things got complicated.

Charlie has met the gods, and even when threatened, they don't seem much like tyrants. What's more, they claim that if Adriana succeeds in killing all of them, she'll wipe out the universe in the process. Adriana thinks they're bluffing; the godishes, impish immortal beings that are not quite gods but not quite anything else, are in her corner.
