When I read Angelology, the question left unanswered for me was, 'If God and the angels knew the Nephalim had survived, why did they not do something more to end the threat?' Believe it or not, while this book doesn't come right out and answer that question directly, it does offer a couple of very subtle answers. Equally as impressive is the way the history of some of the lost Faberge Eggs feature into the tale. Both of these stories are extremely satisfying info dumps, given the foundations laid down in the first book. Picking up some 10 years after Angelology, this novel follows Verlaine, giving us more of both Evangeline's story and the story of Nephalim history in the wake of Noah and the flood.

With Angelopolis, the conflict deepens into an inferno of danger and passion unbound.Ī decade has passed since Verlaine saw Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a betrayal that haunts him still. 'She rose into the currents of icy air.'Ī New York Times best seller 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.
