    Summary

    Bombay crime lord Ganesh Gaitonde tries to celebrate his wife's death anniversary twelve years after she was slain. He meets a courtesan whose enigma should be enough to keep him occupied. This courtesan is no other than Ishtar of Sumer, who tried to delay her irrelevance as a god by migrating to the Hindus Valley where she then adapted an Indian persona.

    Meanwhile, decades into the future while finally settled in America, she was approached by another fallen deity who has escaped an abusive marriage for the price of complete anonymity.

    Old and New gods try to co-exist in America, although the New seek more to tilt the scales into their favor by employing those who have more to gain through self-interest than fulfilling obligation to their divine kith. Such was the case with humanity's forgotten hero, Gilgamesh.

    In Los Angeles, an ex-convict Shadow Moon finds himself in the company of a Mumbai-based mafia and even thrown into the quarrels of their criminal outfit, all while something otherworldly is at work.

    These lives become entangled; the threads of which knitted by Desire, Despair, and Delirium.

    Only Death could unravel them.

    Summary

    Heroes and villains with unique mutations, magic wielders, and even fallen gods have come together in a bar called Silk Cut, in which small conflicts lead ultimately to larger threats. Personalities would clash and push each other to do better or worse; bonds both benign and dangerous would be forged, while respective agendas are rarely revealed, for they are often muddled by vulnerabilities much harder to swallow than the strongest booze.

    Summary

    To Ganesh, she was an imaginary friend his mind conjured up two weeks ago during one of his baths. It could either be due to loneliness or madness, but whatever the case, he’s stuck with her now.
