DELUXE EDITION—a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a case stamp, and designed endpapers!



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.

Praise for this book

Praise for the Peaches & Honey duology

"These Immortal Truths is a gorgeous meditation on love, life, and the inexorable passage of time. Rachelle Raeta is an absolute poet, and I'm already eagerly anticipating her next book."—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club

"Beautiful, haunting, and healing, this book will sweep you through centuries as it envelops your heart. Wonderful and unforgettable!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

"These Immortal Truths is a wonderful novel and a fascinating examination of the blessings and the curses of a life that never ends. Rachelle Raeta has created a stunningly original heroine who marches through centuries of life and love with courage and compassion. Rich with history and magic, this compelling and poignant tale is not to be missed."—Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches

“These Immortal Truths has imprinted itself onto my skin. Rachelle Raeta’s new novel is a brilliant and gripping new take on the mythology of immortality. It follows Anna and Khiran through more than eight hundred years, and who, despite their powers and their immortality, remain all too human, with all the flaws and joys and messiness that entails. Raeta’s writing fairly sparkles on the page, but it is her unerring attention to detail to every century and every country that allows the reader to completely inhabit Anna’s world. The sounds, the smells, the clothes, are rendered stunningly real as you walk beside Anna who serves as both witness to, and participant in, the beauty and the horrors of humanity. This book will haunt you long after the last page is turned.”—Rita Woods, award-winning author of Remembrance

"I thoroughly enjoyed this sweeping tale of love and loss, healing and heartbreak. Anna's empathy and compassion for others made her a heroine I was delighted to spend centuries with."—Serra Swift, author of Kill the Beast

"Rachelle Raeta weaves an epic and romantic tapestry—one of lush prose and rich historical detail, and of characters who will break your heart in one century and put it back together in the next. I adored this book."—Bel Banta, author of The Court of Venus

"For several weeks after reading I was replaying scenes in my head. . . . The stay-up-past-your-bedtime-to-finish kind of good."—Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
