Synopsis
Han pasado diez años desde que Verlaine viera a Evangeline en el puente de Brooklyn, convertida en un ángel. Ahora es un cazador de elite en la Sociedad Angelológica y cumple con empeño su misión de capturar, encarcelar y eliminar alos como ella, crueles y bellos descendientes de la unión entre ángeles y humanos. Sin embargo, cuando vuelven a encontrarse inesperadamente en París, Verlaine comprende que ella es distinta de las criaturas que persigue. La fascinación que siente solo aumenta cuando Evangeline es secuestrada por una de las criaturas angélicas más peligrosas y buscadas. Verlaine y sus colegas angelólogos lucharán por liberarla y su investigación los llevará de la torre Eiffel a los palacios de San Petersburgo, de la remota Siberia a la costa del mar Negro. La verdad sobre los orígenes de Evangeline, así como fuerzas capaces de aniquilarlos, los aguardan. Angelopolis es una extraordinaria aventura que aúna el pasado imperial de Rusia, la ciencia génetica contemporánea y el misterio que rodea a los ángeles en una apasionante historia en la que el destino de la humanidad vuelve a estar en peligro. La lucha entre el bien y el mal aún no ha terminado.
A New York Times bestseller 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. With Angelopolis, the conflict deepens into an inferno of danger and passion unbound.A decade has passed since Verlaine saw Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a betrayal that haunts him still. Now an elite angel hunter for the Society of Angelology, he pursues his mission with single-minded devotion: to capture, imprison, and eliminate her kind.
But when Evangeline suddenly appears on a twilit Paris street, Verlaine finds her nature to be unlike any of the other creatures he so mercilessly pursues, casting him into a spiral of doubt and confusion that only grows when she is abducted before his eyes by a creature who has topped the society’s most-wanted list for more than a century. The ensuing chase drives Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the shadows of the Eiffel Tower to the palaces of St. Petersburg and deep into the provinces of Siberia and the Black Sea coast, where the truth of Evangeline’s origins—as well as forces that could restore or annihilate them all—lie in wait.Conceived against an astonishing fresh tableau of history and science, Angelopolis plumbs Russia’s imperial past, modern genetics, and ancient depictions of that most potent angelic appearance—the Annunciation of Gabriel—in a high-octane tale of abduction, treasure seeking, and divine warfare as the fate of humanity once again hangs in the balance.
