Descripción editorial
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen and the Remy Chandler series comes the second novel in a new dark fantasy saga about fighting the demonic forces that seek to destroy us all...
John Fogg and Theodora Knight were widely known for their paranormal investigations—and the popular TV show about them. But then an episode went horribly wrong, and they disturbed a mysterious vessel that unleashed a host of demons into the world and left Theo possessed. They fought back the hellish incursion, and Theo has regained control of herself, but each moment see hers struggling to maintain dominance over the demons that still live inside her.
When John learns that the vessel they disturbed may have been planted on purpose, he sets out to investigate why. He soon discovers a web of ancient evil and a new pathway that the legions of hell hope to use to make our world into theirs. John and Theo must race to find allies to stop the coming flood, and find the strength within themselves to stand as humankind’s last hope.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sniegoski's second Demonists novel (after The Demonists) is ambitious but uneven; it has enough blood and guts to satisfy horror fans but is slow to reveal its lofty goals. The inhabitants of hell are fashioning a vessel for a mass exodus toward Earth. Leading the project is the Cardinal, a demon possessing a nonagenarian woman, and its servant, Fritz Gorham, a psychic vampire. Television ghost hunter John Fogg and his wife, Theo, whose body is possessed by thousands of demons, vow to stop the Cardinal. Traveling among Chicago, Pittsburgh, and a nursing home in Ohio, they ally with FBI agent Brenna Isabel; demon hunter Griffin Royce; Griffin's pyrokinetic daughter, Cassie; and Nicole, who communicates with animal spirits. Sniegoski interjects ominous angels and the deceptive Messenger, a captive of Demonist leader Elijah Covington. After a lengthy introduction of the many characters, the mayhem proceeds with gusto. Well-drawn characters with much at stake face emotional and supernatural challenges, and Sniegoski explores themes of sacrifice, pain, loyalty, and betrayal.
