LEGACY OF THE WATCHERS (the series)Thousands of years ago, something came out of the sky that would change the course of human history. Testimonies abound of these ?angels? and their hybrid offspring, the ?Nephilim? giants. These mighty ?gods? quickly rose to power, and the ancient world came alive with industry and culture. Many consider this period to be the ?dawn? of our civilization. People who for hundreds of thousands of years lived as hunters and gatherers suddenly began settling in one place, cultivating the land and even governing themselves. They invented irrigation, the wheel and algebra. They had knowledge of our solar system that even modern technology wasn't able to confirm until the 1970s. Most importantly, they began to read and write. Yet in spite of all this development, an undercurrent of terror was spreading like wildfire, carrying whispers of ?djinn,? ?daeva? and ?demons.?The Watchers were supposed to do just that: watch. But humankind proved far too tempting and they ?fell? to earth, taking wives for themselves and even having children. But their children grew into unruly giants whose souls didn?t ascend like human souls when they die, but remain here, on the earth. These errant Nephilim souls haunt the earth to this day. They are the ?djinn,? the ?hidden ones,? also known as ?daeva? and ?demon.? They have one purpose?to live. But to live they need bodies.This chain of events has now reached the point where the djinn need more than just our bodies to survive. They must take back control of the earth, just as in the days when they ruled as gods.THE HIDDEN ONES, Vol. 1As CEO of her own thriving company, Nadia Adeire is flush with success, but a secret society dating back to the Essenes believes her to be one of the ancient djinn?the notorious demoness of Hebrew legend, Lilith. What?s more, they have reason to believe that she?s plotting a catastrophic attack on the world. Nadia is snatched from her ?perfect? life and caught up in a maze between a present day disaster and the ancient legends of the djinn. The only way out is to retrace the steps of her deceased grandmother, Helene. The deeper Nadia delves into the past, the harder it will be for her to emerge unscathed. But it?s the only way to stop this impending disaster that was set in motion five thousand years ago.

Re-reading this book and I think it's even better the second time around. I understand a lot more of the Jewish mythology, I think it is called, which enriches this second read. I'm looking forward to my first readings of the second two books, too.

BethFishReads Hummm I might have to read this 8y
