Description
A New York Times bestseller and global sensation, Angelology
unfurled a brilliant tapestry of myth and biblical lore on our present-day world
and plunged two star-crossed heroes into an ancient battle against mankind's
greatest enemy: the fatally attractive angel-human hybrids known as the
Nephilim. With Angelopolis, the conflict deepens into an inferno of
danger and passion unbound.
A decade has passed since Verlaine saw
Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a
betrayal that haunts him still. Now an elite angel hunter for the Society of
Angelology, he pursues his mission with single-minded devotion: to capture,
imprison, and eliminate her kind.
But when Evangeline suddenly appears on
a twilit Paris street, Verlaine finds her nature to be unlike any of the other
creatures he so mercilessly pursues, casting him into a spiral of doubt and
confusion that only grows when she is abducted before his eyes by a creature who
has topped the society's most-wanted list for more than a century. The ensuing
chase drives Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the shadows of the
Eiffel Tower to the palaces of St. Petersburg and deep into the provinces of
Siberia and the Black Sea coast, where the truth of Evangeline's origins—as well
as forces that could restore or annihilate them all—lie in
wait.
Conceived against an astonishing fresh tableau of history and
science, Angelopolis plumbs Russia's imperial past, modern genetics, and
ancient depictions of that most potent angelic appearance—the Annunciation of
Gabriel—in a high-octane tale of abduction, treasure seeking.
