The Retreat Pair

2 Works

The same five days at a desert monastery told twice — once in third-person omniscient, once as unreliable first-person testimony audited by the Conscience-Keeper. Either book can be read first.

1. The Hungry Gods Go on Retreat
   A five-day stay at a desert monastery, third-person omniscient across all seven gods, each stripped of its defining certainty by the discipline of monastic silence.
2. The Hungry Gods Go on Retreat — A Book of Hours
   A companion apocryphon retelling the same five days as unreliable first-person testimony, one god per canonical hour, audited in a closing chapter by the Conscience-Keeper. Either book can be read first.
