Te¿ena, a nonverbal weaver's apprentice and failed Theurgist, is still reeling from a breakup with the person ae expected to build a life with. So ae is hardly prepared for stumbling upon a cryogenically frozen Theurgist from thousands of years ago.

Nam'ir has a secret that not even God can know: that Gods who are not God exist. And that she is one of these hidden Gods herself. That's why she froze herself. But now that she's awoken, it turns out that her secret still needs to be kept.

Kjorel is a continent away from his childhood home, glad to start building a life without his ex, Te¿ena. The streets of Eden hold promise for him... promise such as a beautiful boy named Yenatru.

But Yenatru comes with friends, including the fallen angel Lucifer themself, who knew Nam'ir long ago, and soon hears news of her revival.

It may be that the very complexity Kjorel broke up with Te¿ena to avoid will follow him anyway.

And it may be that the secret Nam'ir keeps so desperately is exactly what Te¿ena needs to hear.

THE LIVES THAT ARGUE FOR US is the third and final book in Ivana Skye's ¿ehhinah trilogy, an Abrahamic fantasy series where everyone's personal life is of cosmic importance-if they aren't too distracted by essay deadlines or coffee.
