All The Gods Against Me: The Story of Clarence Manning

Clarence Manning is a working stiff and a borderline alcoholic, whose only solace is gazing out his window at mankind with a drink in his hand. Love and beauty are dead and gone. Yet he smells rose petals on the night wind and sees them falling from the sky.

When three sentient beings invade his life, Clarence scoffs at their divine nature. The Blue God, Trujillo, matches Clarence's apathy with divine, razor-like arrogance. Lenore, a god of yellow light, bestows the most beautiful, loving companion. And Donatello, The Red God, offers loyalty and friendship in a way he's never experienced.

But Clarence wants no part of divine intervention, and he rebukes the gods with a vengeance. When Trujillo proposes war, Clarence taps into his own god-like power, unleashing an influence born from his sinister past, a creature of shadow that spells annihilation for mankind, the gods, and the very fabric of reality.

Author's note:
The Divinity Series comprises the story arc of the child, Divinity, beginning with All The Gods Against Me and continuing on with Calliope and Worlds Away. It is a series of darkness to light, beginning with the raw, adult-themed All The Gods Against Me, and becoming more redemptive by Worlds Away. You can read the complete cycle of darkness to and light in order or as stand alones.
