Angelology

Fülszöveg

Sister Evangeline was just a girl when her father entrusted her to the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in upstate New York. Now, at twenty-three, her discovery of a 1943 correspondence between the late mother superior of St. Rose Convent and the famous philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller plunges her into a secret history that stretches back a thousand years: an ancient conflict between the Society of Angelologists and the monstrously beautiful descendants of angels and ihumans, the Nephilim.

iJjondie secrets the Rockefeller letters guard are desperately coveted by these once powerful crea-Itfures who stop at nothing to perpetuate war and jsufayert the good in humanity Almost since human civilization began, these uncommonly tall, fair fig-urés have moved undetected behind the seats of ¦cower throughout the world and have been tracked in stealth by generations of angel scholars—the angelologists—who have devoted their lives to stopping them, This mission is steeped in a reality shadowed kby the divine supernatural. It haunts every corridor of Evangeline's Hudson River abbey, pierces the innocent world of an art historian's research, and casts architectural treasures in Paris and New York in an astonishing new light. All the while, deep in a Bul-garian mountain cavern, the NephiÜm's angelic fore-fathers illuminate the stalactite bars of their prison with a radiance of an altogether different sort—a perpetual glow that is as deadly as it is irresistible.

As Evangeline learns how these realms connect to the correspondencë she's found, she comes into ,knowledge of the role she herself is destined to play in this ancient clash reignited—and of how her Parisian grandmother, one of the great angelolo-gists, intends to prevent catastrophic defeat on the eve of the new millennium.
