Stella Magazine is thrilled to introduce you to your new favorite author, Stella! Her captivating historical fiction novel, "The Peacocks," takes readers on a thrilling journey to the remote volcanic island of Oceania in 1879. For two years, the determined Peacocks have struggled to make their home on this inhospitable land, but their hopes are finally realized when a ship appears, carrying six Pacific Islanders who have traveled over eight hundred miles in search of a new beginning. However, their joy turns to despair when a vulnerable boy vanishes.

In their quest to find the lost child, the settlers and newcomers unite to uncover the island's secrets, and what they discover is far more than they bargained for. Young Lizzie Peacock, the daughter of the island's leader, is forced to question her deepest convictions as the fragile community begins to fracture under the weight of its own secrets.

"The Peacocks" is an intimate, intense, and beautifully realized novel of possession, power, and the liberating loss of innocence. It is the perfect Christmas gift for fans of MISTER PIP and THE POISONWOOD BIBLE, and we cannot wait for you to immerse yourself in this captivating story.
