The only person privy to their authentic self is another trans kid, Enzo, whos a thousand long, painful miles away in Brooklyn. But even Enzo doesnt know about Gems dreams, haunting visions of magic and violence that have always felt too real. So how the hell does Willa Mae Hardy? The strange new girl in town acts like she and Gem are old companions, and seems to know things about them theyve never told anyone else. When Gem is attacked by a stranger claiming to be the Goddess of Death, Willa Mae saves their life and finally offers some answers. She and Gem are reincarnated gods whove known and loved each other across lifetimes. But Gem or at least who Gem used to be - hasnt always been the most benevolent deity. Theyve made a lot of enemies in the pantheonenemies who, like the Goddess of Death, will keep coming. Its a good thing theyve still got Enzo. But as worlds collide and the past catches up with the present, Gem will discover that everyone has something to hide.

This start to a new YA fantasy series blends modern small-town Gracie, GA with a pantheon of gods in exile from an another world. Gem narrates this tale, struggling to find balance not only in their teen life in moving from Atlanta to a more rural community, but also in the startling revelation that their dreams may just be more than they seem. The cast size & eons of history get a bit chaotic at times but adults may not find this as approachable.

Gem Echols, a nonbinary Seminole teen, has been having strange, disturbing, often violent dreams. One day, the same day several people show up claiming to know them even though Gem doesn‘t remember them, those dreams start bleeding into reality. Gem isn‘t at all who they think they are & there are some people who really don‘t like them. An intense, dark YA villain origin story. Book comes with content warning from the author. On sale 11/28.

Starting this YA story about a nonbinary Seminole teen who dreams of terrible things, dreams that starting bleeding into reality. Unsure of what is real and unreal, Gem soon discovers how little they know about who they really are and what that means for their future. Just started this one and wow, the opening chapter is intense. I think this is going to be a good one. On sale 11/28/23.
