Angelopolis: A Novel (Angelology Series)

More about the book

A New York Times bestseller and global sensation, this novel weaves a rich tapestry of myth and biblical lore in our contemporary world, plunging two heroes into an ancient battle against mankind’s greatest enemy: the alluring angel-human hybrids known as the Nephilim. The conflict intensifies as a decade has passed since Verlaine witnessed Evangeline's transformation on the Brooklyn Bridge, a moment that still haunts him. Now an elite angel hunter for the Society of Angelology, he is dedicated to capturing and eliminating her kind. However, when Evangeline unexpectedly appears on a Paris street, Verlaine realizes her nature is unlike any other creature he hunts, leading him into doubt and confusion. This turmoil escalates when she is abducted by a creature long sought by the society. The chase takes Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the Eiffel Tower to the palaces of St. Petersburg and into the depths of Siberia and the Black Sea coast, where the truth of Evangeline’s origins—and forces that could either save or destroy them—awaits. Set against a backdrop of history and science, the narrative explores Russia’s imperial past, modern genetics, and the Annunciation of Gabriel in a thrilling tale of abduction, treasure hunting, and divine warfare as humanity's fate hangs in the balance.
