Angelology
Trussoni, Danielle
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 letter from the famous philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller plunges Evangeline into a secret history that stretches back a thousand years: an ancient clash between the Society of Angelologists and the monstrously beautiful descendants of angels and humans, the Nephilim. Almost since human civilization began, the Nephilim have moved undetected behind the seats of power throughout the world and have been tracked in stealth by generations of angel scholars-the angelologists- who have devoted their lives to stopping them. Their shared mission, which Evangeline has long been destined to join, reaches from her bucolic abbey on the Hudson to the apex of insular wealth in New York to the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris and the mountains of Bulgaria. Blending biblical lore and classical mythology into a thrilling crucible of our time, Angelology is a riveting tale of ordinary people engaged in a battle that will determine the fate of the world.
