Sikander Aziz series[]
City of the Plague God[]
After Ishtar lures Nergal and his forces to her house, the plague god demands the war goddess hand over Sik and she refuses. Taking Kasusu in hand, Ishtar charges at her brother-in-law and they fight to their full power. As the deities fight, the buildings around them start to collapse and Sik and Belet Amari get the neighbors to evacuate just as the structures fall apart. In addition to the buildings, Sik and Belet also take on the demons Nergal brought with him. At one point Ishtar tosses Kasusu to Belet to defend Sik from a demon, but the goddess of love and war is impaled by Nergal and dies. Sik manages to calm Belet down and convinces her to run as he gives himself up to the plague god.
