SLAY is Brittney Morris’ debut novel that burst onto the scene in a major way. The book follows a seventeen-year-old honors student named Kiera Johnson who has a second life at home when she takes part in a massive multi-player online game known as SLAY. In the game, black gamers like Kiera take part in the role-playing game as they take on the roles of Nubian personas. What all of the players and her friends and family don’t know is that not only is a player of the game, she is the game’s developer. Her boyfriend Malcolm doesn’t even know which is probably a good thing because he thinks that games are the “downfall of the Black man.” One day, a dispute happens in the SLAY world which leads to a murder in real life. The game is labeled as a hub for thugs and criminals while a troll infiltrates the game to threaten to sue Kiera. Instead of giving up, Kiera decides to fight for her creation while doing her best to protect her identity in the process.
