The Book of Stella

By Victoria Ruben

It has been a year since Estella became a god, and honestly? It's been great. Her domain is built and thriving. Her relationship with Joker and Jessa has never been stronger. She and Harlow are getting closer every day. Even her former-literary-idol-turned-enemy, Brendan Linwood, grumpier than usual since returning from the dead, can't shake her spirit. Nothing can.

That is, until an invitation arrives from Boots and Lila, the sinister hipster ghosts whose last soiree nearly ended Estella's immortal life before it had begun. The Council of the Gods is being held, and attendance is mandatory. So Estella and Co. set off for Skate Park in the Dark, a paint-splattered, neon-lit domain styled after the world's most popular battle royale videogame and populated entirely by runaway teens.

This is one of two Councils that Estella and her found family attend. In the first, they are all together, on top of their new and dangerously, beautifully altered world. In the second, they are broken apart, scattered to the winds.

Jobs are a grind, and families are complicated, even for the Gods.
