But when a dead body is discovered in a pool of molten gold and ash, Akoma is drawn into a hidden world of Ghanaian gods and mages led by the trickster, storytelling god himself, Anansi. Soon, Anansi reels Akoma in with a proposition — one that promises to revive her father and snare the serial killer she’s been hunting — as long as she agrees to lie to everyone she loves and awaken her ancestral magic... becoming the very type of supernatural being she’s dedicated herself to fighting. All of which complicates things with Xander, the new boy in town who’s seriously gorgeous and vying for her attention. Lying has never come easily to Akoma. But in a world of assassins and double agents, she’ll learn to spin her own stories — and discover whether she can trust a god famous for his duplicity.
