About this ebook
A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE SPANNING THOUSANDS OF YEARS IS SUDDENLY COMING TO A HEAD.As the Legacy of the Watchers continues, 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.
But there are still unanswered questions, so 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 quest 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. ABOUT THE LEGACY OF THE WATCHERS SERIES: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.
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.

I'm not all that into history but this series caught and held my interest from the beginning. The writing was excellent. Could see this really happening. This is science fiction at its best.
