by Rachelle Raeta
A god stilled the hands of time for Anna in These Immortal Truths. Now, those stolen hours come due in These Godly Lies, the stunning and sweeping conclusion to the Peaches & Honey duology.
"She assumed they had forever. She knows better now."
After spending eight centuries witnessing the world's cruelty, Anna has finally found peace in the simple life she's made for herself with Khiran, the shapeshifting god who gifted her with immortality.
It is, she knows, too good to last.
When her existence―and her stolen immortality―is discovered, Anna and Khiran must abandon the home they have built together if they hope to escape the wrath of the all-powerful god they call The First. But they can't hide forever, and fighting means certain death―until they learn that they may not be the only immortals who wish to see The First fall.
With everything at stake, only one thing is certain: Fear isn't only for mortals. Fear is for them all.
