There is only one path.
Born mortal along with his three brothers, Michael is an
Archangel with a specific role: hunt fallen angels and send them back to Hell.
He is determined in his mission, never straying from his appointed path, until
he meets Lake Divine, and discovers there may be more to his beliefs than blind
duty.
But Lake is not who he seems. Offspring of a human and a fallen
angel, a Nephilim, Lake must choose his own destiny: give in to the coldness
and embrace the dark, or seek the light and rise above the sins of his father.
Two paths lay before them, but only one has the potential to
destroy them both.

What are Nephilims?
I forget how I stumbled upon nephilims for the story. They just
seem like something everyone should know what they are. The offspring of “the
sons of God” and “the daughters of man” according to Genisis 6:4. (Although in
my story, it isn’t just sons of God getting busy with daughters of man.) The
name is also used to reference giants who inhabited Canaan. I’ve seen them in
other stories. Recently, I read the first book in a series called “The Nephilim
Chronicles”. Nephilims seem to fascinate us.
Why is that?
Maybe it’s because they are part human so we relate to them
better than angels, fallen or not. Or we like the idea of being human but
having amazing powers, and sometimes, wings. I know I wouldn’t complain about
wings. Well, maybe a little. Zade did point out in Michael that they were bulky
and caused accidents. Flying isn’t as easy as Joe would attest. He broke his
leg trying to fly. It could be we all dream of escaping our normal lives.
Finding out we are something more is a fantasy that temps us all.
Either way, nephilims are fascinating creatures. They have much
potential for adventure that we find them hard to resist. What do you think is
the appeal of nephilims?
About the
Author:
Patricia Josephine never set out to become a writer. In fact,
she never considered it an option during high school and college. She was all
about art. On a whim, she wrote down a story bouncing in her head. That was the
start of it and she hasn't regretted a moment. She writes young adult under the
name Patricia Lynne.
Patricia lives with her husband in Michigan, hopes one day to
have what will resemble a small petting zoo, has a fondness for dying her hair
the colors of the rainbow, and an obsession with Doctor Who.
Thank you for stopping by Patricia! Good luck with your book release.
Did you guys already know what a nephilim was? Who's your favorite archangel? What do you think of the cover?
May you find your Muse.

Congrats on the release, Patricia! I'm new to nephilim and archangels and all of that but I do appreciate the lesson.
Congratulations to Patricia! :)
Michael is my favorite angel. I've read so many stories and theories about nephilim and I think one of the things about them is the many possibilities of what powers they have or even if they're good or evil.
I guess we have to read this to find out how Michael does. The nephilim are great sources for stories and glad Patricia has added this one.
Congrats Lorelei :) My post will go up on Wed with IWSG.
Thanks Alex. =)
I had someone else not know what nephilims were and it kind of stumped me. It just seems like something most people have heard of. LOL
Thanks Christine. =D
I recently read a book that gave a twist on nephilims that I hadn't seen yet. They are great fodder for stories.
Yes, you have to read the book to find out. *rubs hands* You see my evil plot here? ;)
Cover is great, and I love the story line. Nephiliums--when I was reading Genesis ? I think, curiosity hit me. This could be an interesting direction.
Thank you for stopping by, everyone, and to Patricia for the interesting information on Nephilims.
