The Lives that Argue for Us - Paperback

by Ivana Skye (Author)

In a world where your life argues for you, carving out the possibilities for the world to come, what does it mean to discover there are Gods other than God?

Teśena, a volatile and nonverbal weaver's apprentice, is still reeling from a breakup with the person ae expected to build a life with. So ae is hardly prepared when one night in aer tropical home of Askannan, ae stumbles across not only God, but also a cryogenically frozen Theurgist.

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 away for 5,000 years. But now that she's awoken, she realizes her secret still needs to be kept.

Kjorel, a Seafarer, is an ocean away from his childhood home, glad to start building a life without his ex, Teśena. The cobbled streets of the desert city of Eden hold promise for him... promise such as a beautiful boy named Yenatru.

But Yenatru comes with friends, including the fallen angel Lucifer, who knew Nam'ir long ago, and soon hears news of her revival. It may be that the very complexity Kjorel left Teśena to avoid will follow him anyway.

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

The Lives that Argue for Us is the third and final book in Ivana Skye's Sehhinah trilogy, an atmospheric, semi-utopian reimagining of Abrahamic mythology where everyone's personal life is of cosmic importance.
