Summary:
‘A stunning follow-up to the best-seller Angelology . Part historical novel, illusion, love story, thriller, and mystery. . . It’s a must-read.’
-Booklist (starred review)
A FRESH York Moments bestseller and global sensation, Angelology unfurled a brilliant tapestry of misconception and biblical lore on our present-day world and plunged two star-crossed heroes into a historical battle against mankind’s most significant enemy: the fatally attractive angel-human hybrids referred to as the Nephilim. With about Angelopolis Angelopolis, the issue deepens into an inferno of danger and enthusiasm unbound.
Ten years has passed since Verlaine found Evangeline alight in the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a betrayal that haunts him still. Now at the very top angel hunter for the Society of Angelology, he pursues his mission with single-minded devotion: to capture, imprison, and get rid of her kind.
But when Evangeline abruptly appears on a twilit Paris street, Verlaine finds her nature to be unlike any of the additional creatures he so mercilessly pursues, casting him into a spiral of doubt and dilemma that only grows when she actually is abducted before his eyes with a creature that has topped the society’s most-wanted list for greater than a hundred years. The ensuing run after drives Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the shadows from the Eiffel Tower towards the palaces of St. Petersburg and deep into the provinces of Siberia as well as the Dark Sea coast, where in fact the truth of Evangeline’s origins-as well as makes that could restore or annihilate them all-lie in wait around.
Conceived against an astonishing fresh tableau of history and science, Angelopolis plumbs Russia’s imperial past, modern genetics, and ancient depictions of this most potent angelic appearance-the Annunciation of Gabriel-in a high-octane tale of abduction, cherish searching for, and divine warfare as the fate of humanity once more hangs in the total amount.
