Sister Evangeline was just a girl when her father entrusted her to the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in upstate New York. Now, twenty-three, her discovery of a 1943 letter from
philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller to the late Mother Superior of Saint Rose Convent plunges Evangeline 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 humans the Nephilim.
