Poor Penny Lane-the afterlife just isn't getting any easier. She has barely had time to recover from her grueling life lesson (let alone her own murder) and a brutal course in mortal mapping. She now finds herself thrown unexpectedly into her craziest mission yet. The aliens are at it again, fighting a civil war that threatens to tear their society apart-as surely as the tremors, fires, and other instigated disasters menace their separate afterlife world.

Fortunately, Roy, the cowboy archangel, has a plan. He has gathered a select army of humans, aliens, and angels to bring peace to this embattled world. They seek to settle the dispute between the warrior aliens and their weaker counterparts and to subdue the powers of their tyrant leaders.

Along with every friend she has made since her murder, Penny is reunited with her ghost retrieval team, including the handsome and charismatic Avery and the groovy archangel, Eric, for a mission that is equal parts unique and dangerous. The humans and angels are forced to venture out across a mysterious and unpredictable landscape-the once-experimental and ancient plane of existence of the Titans and Olympians. In "Ancient Gods and the Angel Cafe," Penny Lane's chaotic yet hope-filled journey continues, and this time, she is sharing her epic adventure with all of her favorite fellow adventurers.

Penny Lane has been dead for more than five years, but her time in the afterlife hasn't quite prepared her for this--a new afterlife in a brand-new world. As she and her soul mate, Avery, prepare for their new roles, they are told they'll need everything they've learned about ghost retrieval, melting, and mortal studies. Even so, the angels aren't telling them what those roles are.

Penny's curiosity is piqued when she finds a castle surrounded by hills. Who built this? Why? Why here? She won't have long to wait for answers, as she is reunited with old friends and some unexpected faces from the past. The cherubim are going home--if they can get by the dark entities they accidentally created long ago, that is.

Eric, who is now learning more about his human transference, is sad to leave his counseling role in his underground world behind. Poor Avery has to deal with some unwelcome residents. Roy is doing his best to keep things running smoothly over at the Angel Cafe. And thanks to the seraphims' various issues, he's added mediator to his list of chores.

Penny and Avery are struggling to deal with the loss of their old lives, flying, shape-shifting, gargoyles, and an uncertain destiny. "Complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their romance, but they're doing what they can.
