Despite your commitment to finding the most unbelievable course in uni, you never once came across the angelology option.

Read Danielle Trussoni’s debut novel, Angelology, and you’ll see that the hush-hush study of angels is for only a select few.

An orphan since the age of 12, Sister Evangeline lives a sheltered life in the Saint Rose Convent until she is drawn into the mysterious world of angels and their cruel descendants, the Nephilim. She discovers that not only are they still engaged in an ancient battle with horrifying consequences for humanity but her late family’s connection to the angels makes her prey to the dangerous Nephilim army.

Jumping between New York in 1999 and Europe during WWII, Trussoni’s novel is a fast-paced thriller packed with clever mythological and religious references, making it clear the author did her homework.

And she’s not just winging it.
