Description

When Liana learns that her beloved husband, Prince Amron, was killed, she uses her half-divine blood to strike a bargain: the gods will send her back into the past and give her three days to make Amron fall in love with her. If she succeeds, she gets him back. If she fails, she loses him, and her divine powers, forever.

Seventeen years earlier, Melia is forced by her controlling father to marry Amron on the brink of the biggest peace treaty in history. But Melia has her own plans: to destroy the treaty and carve a new future with her rebellious lover, Ferisa. As Melia’s betrayal sparks a bloody conflict, Liana realizes the gods have deceived her: she must help Amron earn Melia’s trust, even if it means losing him, or the future won’t exist. And Melia must decide whether to reveal the truth, knowing it could cost her everything—or let the kingdom burn to ashes.

A dark fantasy story of love and revenge, Love Lethal, Death Divine blends the history of Eastern Adriatic with Slavic folklore.

"I never miss a Jelena Dunato book, and she's at the top of her game with Love Lethal, Death Divine, a thrilling novel full of heartbreak, intrigue and mystery that brings folklore to vivid life."

Kate Heartfield, bestselling author of The Embroidered Book

Both a pulse-pounding time travel thriller and an emotionally gripping tale of the cost of true love in a land of smart women up against cruel gods and crueller fate, Dunato's intelligent, stunning dark fantasy tale is everything unmissable about this genre. I may never recover from this book and I'm not sure I want to.
