Seventeen-year-old Gem Echols hides their mental health challenges and mysterious dreams in the small town of Gracie, Georgia, but when a newcomer reveals a shocking claim of being reincarnated gods together, Gem's life takes a perilous turn as they embark on a deadly adventure, where their past and present collide.
Gem Echols is a nonbinary Seminole teen living in tiny town of Gracie, Georgia. Known for being their peers' queer awakening, Gem leans hard on charm to disguise the anxious mess they are beneath. The only person privy to their authentic self is another trans kid, Enzo, who's a thousand long, painful miles away in Brooklyn. But even Enzo doesn't know about Gem's dreams, haunting visions of magic and violence that have always felt too real. So how the hell does the strange new girl in town know about them? Willa Mae Hardy acts like she and Gem are old companions and seems to know things about them they've 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 who've known and loved each other across lifetime. But Gem -- or at least who Gem used to be -- hasn't always been the most benevolent diety. They've made a lot of enemies in the pantheon ; enemies who, like the Goddess of Deth, will keep coming. It's a good thing they're still got Enzo. But as worlds collide and the past catches up with the present, Gem will discover that everyone has something to hide.
