Power of Gods (Legacy of the Watchers) (Volume 2)
Description
A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE SPANNING THOUSANDS OF YEARS IS SUDDENLY COMING TO A HEAD!Â
Book Two in the Legacy of the Watchers series:
Power of Gods
Â
Thousands of years ago, something happened that changed the course of human history. Testimonies abound of otherworldly visitors they called 'angels,' and their hybrid offspring, the 'Nephilim' giants. These mighty 'gods' quickly rose to power, and the ancient world came alive with industry and culture. The species that existed for hundreds of thousands of years as hunters and gatherers suddenly began settling in one place, cultivating the land and governing themselves. They created irrigation, the wheel and algebra. Yet amidst all this progress, an undercurrent of terror was spreading like wildfire, carrying whispers of 'djinn,' 'daeva' and 'demons'...
The Watchers were supposed to do just that; watch. But humankind proved far too tempting and they 'fell' to earth, taking wives and even producing children. But their children grew into unruly giants whose souls didn't ascend like human souls when they died, but remained here on earth. These errant souls haunt the earth to this day. They are the 'djinn,' the 'hidden ones,' also known as 'daeva' and 'demon.' They have one purpose--to live. But to live they need bodies.Â
This chain of events has reached the point where the djinn need more than just our bodies to survive. They must take back control of the earth, just as in the days when they ruled as gods.
Book One in the Legacy of the Watchers series:
As CEO of her own thriving company, Nadia Adeire is flush with success, but a secret society dating back to the Essenes believes her to be one of the ancient djinn--the notorious demoness of Hebrew legend: Lilith. What's more, they have reason to believe that she's plotting a catastrophic attack on the world.
Nadia is snatched from her 'perfect' life and caught in a maze between a present day disaster and the ancient legends of the djinn. Her only way out is to retrace the steps of her deceased grandmother, Helene. The deeper Nadia delves into the past, the harder it will be for her to emerge unscathed. But it's the only way to stop this impending disaster that was set in motion five thousand years ago.
After the events of the first installment of the LEGACY OF THE WATCHERS, Nadia finds herself inextricably tied to the Raphaelians. Her former life--and everything she believed in--has been shattered, and she needs their help to pick up the pieces and start again.Â
But there are still unanswered questions, and Nadia is once again drawn into the mysterious underworld of the hidden ones. But now there may be even more at stake. Threats of Armageddon loom in the distance as they attempt to decipher a formula that may hold the key to unconscionable power. Their investigation takes them back to the ancient world--this time to King Solomon and his legendary djinn. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Lilith is already attempting to finish what Asmodeous started.Â
