Als twaalfjarig meisje is Evangeline door haar vader naar het St. Rose Klooster in New York gebracht. Nu, elf jaar later, wordt haar rustige leven op zijn kop gezet wanneer ze tijdens haar werk in de bibliotheek een opmerkelijk verzoek van dhr. Verlaine, een onderzoeker, ontvangt. Hij vraagt naar specifieke correspondentie met de moeder-overste uit 1943 en 1944. Evangeline wil weten wat die jaartallen betekenen en komt zo achter de geschiedenis van een eeuwenoude en verborgen strijd: het conflict tussen de Angelogisten, engelengeleerden, en de verschrikkelijk mooie, maar uiterst gevaarlijke afstammelingen van engelen en mensen, de Nephilim. Evangeline blijkt zelf in de traditie van de Angelogisten te staan. Ze begint haar missie te begrijpen. Samen met Verlaine zal ze om te achterhalen wat de Nephilim van plan zijn en zo de aarde te behoeden van de ondergang al haar moed en kennis moeten aanwenden. De strijd is nog niet voorbij…sterker nog, hij vlamt in alle hevigheid weer op.

From the New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author of the Angelology series comes a bewitching gothic novel of suspense that plunges readers into a world of dark family secrets, the mysteries of human genetics, and the burden of family inheritance. It feels like a fairy tale when Alberta "Bert" Monte receives a letter addressed to "Countess Alberta Montebianco" at her Hudson Valley, New York, home that claims she's inherited a noble title, money, and a castle in Italy. While Bert is more than a little skeptical, the mystery of her aristocratic family's past, and the chance to escape her stressful life for a luxury holiday in Italy, is too good to pass up. At first, her inheritance seems like a dream come true: a champagne-drenched trip on a private jet to Turin, Italy; lawyers with lists of artwork and jewels bequeathed to Bert; a helicopter ride to an ancestral castle nestled in the Italian Alps below Mont Blanc; a portrait gallery of ancestors Bert never knew existed; and a cellar of expensive vintage wine for Bert to drink. But her ancestry has a dark side, and Bert soon learns that her family history is particularly complicated. As Bert begins to unravel the Montebianco secrets, she begins to realize her true inheritance lies not in a legacy of ancestral treasures, but in her very genes. --Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling

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.
