Rhianne Verdugo was born with an unknown illness that basically means every day, her heart beats a little weaker. She, and her family, have accepted that living past 20 would be a miracle...until that miracle comes and knocks on Rhianne's door.
Everyone says that Magnus Mentira is the New God. Everywhere he goes, miracles happen. Famine, war, addiction-gone with a sweep of his hand.
When Rhianne is 10, he generously agrees to try and cure her. It's the best thing that's ever happened to the Verdugos-but it doesn't work. Rhianne is still sick, but nobody believes her anymore. After all, how can Magnus, the New God, be wrong? Who would believe a ten-year-old girl when you could believe him? Her story is an inspiring tale of how Magnus's good overcame the evil in Rhianne's body, but the whole time while people tell it in reverence, Rhianne can feel her heart dying. She knows she won't live very long if she doesn't find a true cure, but who will help her if they don't even believe she needs one?
When she finds one person who might be willing to hear her out-Magnus's own son-they discover how deep this lie really goes...and their own feelings for each other.
But sometimes, even love isn't enough to defeat the evil everyone worships.
