Leave it to the Gods (to Make Everything Complicated) 

Theo
Theo

Ask any of the main characters from these books about their relationship to the gods, and they’d probably tell you it’s…complicated. Sure, gods are known to grant great power and perform impossible miracles, but there’s always a price, isn’t there? Always a debt to settle, or a challenge to overcome, or a war to stop. Regardless, all of these characters must navigate their relationships to the gods around them and work to sort out the chaos that divine intervention can create. Check out these stories about the gods making things difficult for mere mortals, and all the ways those mortals fight back.

Fustuk

Robert Mgrdich Apelian

Seventeen-year-old Katah Fustukian has always felt like the odd one out in his family of chefs. Unlike his older siblings, he is useless in the kitchen, and too young to have known their late father–a legendary Hye chef who’d made a name for himself in the Pars Empire. But with his mom’s illness worsening, Katah hopes that his vision-like dreams are a sign of magic stirring within him–especially after they lead him to Az, a powerful div with some mysterious connection to his family. In an attempt to save their mom’s life, he and his siblings strike a deal: Az’s help in exchange for a dish that rivals their father’s. But after the siblings clash over what to cook, Katah will have to make sense of his magic and family history–and wager far more than a single meal to meet Az’s demands…
