Más información sobre el libro

“I dreamed a dream of angels. I saw them and heard them in a great and endless galactic night. I saw the lights that were these angels, flying here and there, in streaks of irresistible brilliance . . . I felt love around me in this vast and seamless realm of sound and light . . . And something akin to sadness swept me up and mingled my very essence with the voices who sang, because the voices were singing of me . . . ” Thus begins a lyrical, haunting novel, a metaphysical thriller of angels and assassins set in fifteenth-century Rome, a city of domes, rooftop gardens, and towering crosses beneath shifting clouds. Amidst the backdrop of Michelangelo, Raphael, and the Holy Inquisition, Toby O’Dare, a former government assassin, is summoned by the angel Malchiah to solve a poisoning crime and uncover the truth behind a haunting by a restless spirit—a diabolical dybbuk. As O’Dare navigates dark plots and threats, the veil of ecclesiastical terror closes in around him. His journey of atonement reconnects him with his own past, revealing matters both light and dark, fierce and tender, and offering a deeper vision of love and the promise of salvation.
