The Nephilim were on the earth in those days Genesis 6:4 When Sister Evangeline finds mysterious correspondence between Mother Innocenta of the Saint Rose Convent and legendary philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller, it confirms Angels walked among us - and their descendants, the cruel Nephilim, still do. Indeed, the Nephilim are hunting for artefacts concealed by Abigail Rockefeller during the Second World War - objects that will ultimately allow them to enslave mankind - and have so far been prevented from reaching their apocalyptic goal by one, clandestine organisation: The Angelology Society. And if the Angelologists are to stand any chance of winning this new battle in the ages-old war, they must find the artefacts first. But their fate rests in the hands of innocent Sister Evangeline, who holds the key to unlocking Abigail Rockefeller's hiding places... and whose own destiny may yet find her prey to the terrifying Nephilim army, with horrifying consequences for humanity.

The sequel to the bestselling Angelology continues to captivate fans of Deborah Harkness and Justin Cronin. Hailed by USA Today as “a thrill ride best described as The Da Vinci Code meets Raiders of the Lost Ark,” the first novel intricately wove biblical lore, the Orpheus myth, and Milton’s Rebel Angels into a contemporary narrative steeped in the supernatural. It followed art historian V. A. Verlaine and Evangeline, a beautiful young nun, as they navigated an ancient conflict against angel-human hybrids known as the Nephilim. A decade later, Verlaine is still haunted by the memory of Evangeline’s wings as she descended from the Brooklyn Bridge. The Nephilim are resurging, intent on creating their paradise, Angelopolis, while Verlaine has taken on the role of an angel hunter. The sudden reappearance of Evangeline forces him to confront his doubts as they are drawn into a perilous journey from Paris to Saint Petersburg, and across Siberia and the Black Sea coast. This high-octane adventure of abduction, liberation, and divine warfare explores Russia’s imperial history, modern genetics, and the archangel Gabriel’s visitations, offering a fresh blend of history and myth that promises to enthrall readers once again.
