“She rose into the currents of icy air...”
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, and divine warfare as
the fate of humanity once again hangs in the balance.
