About This Book
Set in 2018, this is primarily the tale of the first Angel of Death, silent since before the birth of time. It is about the secret places in London and those that gather there, waiting for the end of the world.Above the city, ancient gods and their messengers watch these events with cold eyes of bitter insecurity. And at the heart of Saint Paul's cathedral, seven old daemons, children of the true god, the Babylonian deity, Marduk, prepare for the final song of madness that will signal the collapse of all reality; the song of courting angels.Against this backdrop, the sons and daughters of Prometheus prepare for the last days of modern history ? a vampir, a prophet, a storyteller, a fallen angel, a goddess and a woman infected by divinity ? each a manifestation of the city's history.On the threshold of Marduk's resurrection and the descent of reality back into the primordial ashes from which it was spawned, these six faces of the city must stand alone and turn the tide of history.This is a story about preservation, the last bastion of the twentieth-century and the places in each city that lay abandoned by their human architects.
