Nephilim's Rise. The Templar Chronicles, #8

NEPHILIM'S RISE - REVISED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION (4000 Characters)A supernatural thriller where legends return from exile-and a half-angel warrior embraces his true power to reclaim a conquered world. From out of the darkness comes a light... For five long years, the Adversary and the Seven have ruled Earth with an iron fist. America lies in ruins, carved into demon territories where humans are herded into work camps or bred like cattle to produce fomori warriors.
The Templar Order is shattered, scattered into hiding. Hope is a memory. Victory seems impossible. Then, from the depths of the Beyond, two legends emerge. Cade Williams-the Heretic, the Nephilim-has returned with his warrior wife Gabrielle at his side. Their very presence ignites a fire in the hearts of the surviving Templars. But reunion is cut brutally short when Gabrielle is captured during a raid and dragged in chains to the demon prince's gladiatorial arena in Madison Square Garden, where prisoners fight to the death for the entertainment of the damned.
Cade has one chance to save her: storm the Regent's fortress in Trump Tower with a handful of Templars and pray they reach her before she's torn apart. But when he arrives, he discovers the Regent is Willem Johannson, the traitorous Preceptor who betrayed the Order five years ago-and has transformed into something far worse than human. Meanwhile, Gabrielle faces her own war. Forced to become a gladiator or die in the breeding pens, she must survive the arena's deadly games while secretly working to infiltrate the demon hierarchy.
Every battle brings her closer to the demon prince himself-and closer to a terrible choice that could change everything. When Cade's dormant Nephilim powers finally awaken, brilliant wings of light erupt from his back and he becomes the weapon the Templars have been waiting for-but embracing his angelic nature might cost him his humanity. The assault on Manhattan becomes a three-pronged attack: Riley leads a desperate charge across the 59th Street Bridge while a massive wyvern ridden by the archangel Uriel joins the battle.
Cade storms Trump Tower, cutting through the Regent's forces until he stands face-to-face with demon-corrupted Johannson. What follows is a battle between half-angel and half-demon, a clash of supernatural bloodlines that shatters mirrors and shakes the building's foundations. And in Madison Square Garden's blood-soaked arena, Gabrielle faces the demon prince's champion-a hulking beast called Crusher who has never been defeated.
With nothing but a sword and her training, she must win or die. But victory carries its own price: become the demon prince's new champion and join his retinue in Las Vegas, the capital city of demon-occupied America. In a world where demons rule from towers of glass and nightgaunts patrol the skies, three warriors wage separate battles that will determine whether humanity kneels forever-or rises to reclaim what was stolen.
Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim, and epic supernatural warfare. New York Times and USA Today bestseller Joseph Nassise continues his internationally acclaimed Templar Chronicles series with an explosive tale of awakening power, impossible choices, and the war to reclaim a fallen world.
