Faith is a very important thing in life, be it in yourself,
your family and friends, or the faith you have to protect
you from the evils of the unknown. No one knows this better
than Katerina and Stephen Carmichael, although they'd
rather forget the battle against evil they fought 15 years
ago. Now Kat is a successful, if overtaxed attorney;
Stephen owns and runs the Angel Café, an exquisite and
charming dining experience in Boston. Their love is
perfected in their two daughters, Julia and Claire, and if
their lives have become somewhat blasé and stagnant, well
at least everything is going okay. Or is it? Julia, their
oldest teenager, seems to be fading in and out of reality
more and more each day, while Claire, the younger of the
two, breaks into "wise one speak" in between her normal
little girl routine. Yet, just which one of them is truly
the "child of light"?
More than 15 years ago, with her Aunt Francine at her side,
Katerina had to face and push back the forces of darkness,
and Stephen became her right arm of justice. However, all
that's in the past, isn't it? Everything is normal and the
past has no place in today's reality. Still, that was
before Francine's spirit was sucked out of her body in a
church and sent to the year 1360. Appearing as a ghost to
Madame Alys de Clarimont, prioress of Saint Etheldreda, and
Father Gregory, the envoy from the Bishop, she finds that
their nemesis from hell has found a way to bring himself to
life in a human body. Alys' niece, Isobel, has become the
devil's plaything, and he plans to use her to get to Julia.
Suddenly, normal has no meaning, and the spiritual armor
that Katerina doesn't believe she possesses has to be
found. This time, it's not just the world that needs
saving, but her own family as well. The only thing that
stands between heaven and hell is her aunt, her children,
Alys, Gregory and Kat herself.
This is the second book in Morrow's exciting spiritual
series. She artfully blends her sense of family and crusade
together with fibers of time-travel and faith. The reader
can empathize with Kat and her family, as well as with Alys
and Gregory, as they combat the ancient evil. It's
interesting and innovative, getting the point of good-
versus-evil across to the reader without preaching. This is
a fresh story full of faith and family that will lift
spirits and keep the pages turning until the very end.
THEY'VE GOT UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH THE SPIRIT
WORLD...
Attorney Katerina Piretti and her husband, Stephen
Carmichael, own South Baltimore's trendy Angel Café. Having
battled with the dark side in the past, they want nothing
more now than to lead ordinary lives by simply raising
their two daughters and pursuing their lucrative careers.
Unfortunately, ordinary doesn't seem to be an option.
When their thirteen-year-old daughter, Julia, begins to
experience frightfully realistic dreams and visions, Kat
and Stephen quickly realize that protecting their family
will require a return to the spiritual battleground they
long thought they had left behind. Is Julia the prophesied
child of light, or simply an open channel allowing spirits
unfiltered access to the physical world? Kat and Stephen
race against time to discover the truth, for Julia has
become a target for an ancient evil they have no desire to
meet again...and modern and medieval eras are about to
collide.
