Descrição da editora
Single mother Ella is struggling. About to turn forty, the last thing Ella needs in her life is more complications, but she suspects her brush with angels may not be over yet.
Ella's daughter, Indie, is keeping a huge secret. But it's not until she meets the new kids at school that she begins to learn about her true powers.
Luci has been busy. With the help of her whisperers, she's figured out how to destroy the Angelic Realm. The only problem is the one person who can help her secure the final ingredient won't help.
As Indie explores her growing abilities, she enters a world of fate and power that Ella left behind sixteen years ago. She will soon discover that this world is on the brink of war, and that she may be the most powerful weapon of all.
For over two thousand years, Ella's and Zac's lives have been intertwined. When fate no longer exists and the past catches up to the present, will the bond of blood be enough to unite two worlds?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Simmonds ties up loose ends in the bloated but entertaining final installment to her Indigo Chronicles series (after Son of Secrets). Fallen angel Lucifer (aka "Luci") seeks out Nephilim—half-human, half-angel teenagers—to complete her spell to bring down archangel Mikhael, the misogynist leader of the angelic realm. While building this Nephilim army, Luci also continues to search for her son, Zadkiel—but he wants nothing to do with her. Meanwhile, Zadkiel pines for his paramour, Ella, whom he believes died in an accident six years ago. But Ella is alive and secretly raising Indigo, her and Zadkiel's daughter, who struggles to control her magical faculties while working to discover her true identity. Now all four must heal past wounds if they hope to put an end to Mikhael's hold over humankind. Simmonds exhaustively narrates Luci's adventures throughout different historical eras while building an expansive world. Though she succeeds at crafting a gripping, multifaceted plot, the characters themselves are two-dimensional, and the denouement feels both jarring overly drawn-out. Despite these shortcomings, this proves a satisfying conclusion with plenty to enjoy.
