Evangeline lost her mother at twelve and grew up in Saint Rose Convent in New York. Now twenty-three, she has taken vows as a nun and oversees the convent's rare collection of angel paintings and angelology texts. Her quiet life shatters when art historian Verlaine contacts her about research he conducts for the wealthy Percival Grigori. Verlaine seeks information about the Rockefeller family's art activities, but his inquiry opens a door Evangeline never knew existed. She learns that angelologists have fought the Nephilim for centuries. These Nephilim descend from fallen angels cursed by God. The battle spans multiple fronts, from Bulgaria's mysterious Rhodope Mountains where an angel's body was discovered a thousand years ago to Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris. Evangeline and Verlaine find themselves drawn into this bloody conflict that will determine the world's fate. The war forces Evangeline to question everything she believed about her faith and her purpose.
