These Immortal Truths - (Peaches & Honey) by Rachelle Raeta (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

DELUXE EDITION--a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges!

Both epic and intimate, These Immortal Truths is a powerful and romantic historical fantasy that explores not only what it means to live forever, but what it means to live fully.

A shapeshifting god. A divine peach. And a woman gifted with forever.

Anna is used to hunger and hardship. Ever since the pale shadows on her skin were mistaken for leprosy, she has lived alone in exile, each day focused only on survival.

Then a single act of kindness towards a beautiful stranger changes her life forever.

Suddenly, her body is as untouched by time as it is by harm, and Anna experiences a new freedom she has never known. But as decades and centuries pass, the lives of everyone she meets slip through her fingers like grains of sand... everyone, except Khiran--the shapeshifting god who gave her immortality. No matter the years or distance, she trusts that he will always return.

Yet there is more to immortality than Anna knows, and as she travels the ages, she will discover the beauty--and danger--of a life without end.

Review Quotes

"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 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

"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
