It is 1933. Elijah has been searching for the vanished Michelle for fifteen years but is no closer to finding her. Frustrated by his lost ability to influence mortals, the shattered Eli can do nothing as Lu and the rogue watchers guide Hitler into power.

When the persistent reporter, Cleto Nazario, shows up with information from the Vatican’s secret archives that might help him locate Michelle, Eli must decide whether he can trust him.

Meanwhile, trapped in a dark abyss, Michelle must fend for herself. But as the frightened mortal searches for a way home, she begins to realize her true potential.

In separate worlds, Eli and Michelle fight to unlock the cryptic mysteries of the past and stop the evil watchers. The fate of both worlds lies in their hands.

A richer and more developed sequel

I had listened to the first part, Elijah’s Awakening, so I wanted to continue Elijah’s story after the amazing cliffhanger at the end of the first book. This time, I felt that the author fully used major events from our own history to their advantage, leveraging Eli’s story and giving much more richness to a fantastical tale with strong resemblance to real history, set before World War I and at the gates of World War II.

Regarding the characters, this being a second novel is a big plus. The characters are much more developed, especially Michelle, who I felt was a bit underused in the first part. Eli remains the main character, but the protagonism is now more evenly shared between them, which adds richness and diversity to the story. If you loved the first part like I did, this one will surprise you even mor, in the best way.

Full of Action - Kept Me on the Edge of My Seat

This audio is full of action, as there were times I was listening to it in the car and didn't want to get out because it was so interesting. The book's premise is that Elijah is searching for Michelle, who vanished years ago. He learns of new information from the Vatican's archives but must make decisions that could affect his own life. The audio also showcases Michelle in a dark world, looking to find her way home.
