Archangel’s Lineage

Guild Hunter, Book 16

By: Nalini Singh

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh's dangerous and beautiful world of archangels, vampires, and mortals has never faced a threat this cataclysmic . . .

Raphael and Elena are experiencing their first ever year of true peace. No war. No horrors of archangelic power. No nightmares given flesh. Until . . . the earth beneath the Refuge begins to tremble, endangering not only angelkind's precious and fragile young, but the very place that has held their most innocent safe for eons.

Amid the chaos, Elena's father suffers a violent heart attack that threatens to extinguish their last chance to heal the bonds between them and make sense of the ruins of their agonizing shared history.

Even as Elena battles grief, Raphael is torn from her side by the sudden disappearance of an archangel. But worse yet is to come. An Ancestor, an angel unlike any other, stirs from his Sleep to warn the Cadre of a darkness so terrible that it causes empires to fall and civilizations to vanish.

This time, even the Cadre itself may not be able to stop a ticking clock that is counting down at frightening speed . . .

Contains mature themes.

Love this series!

I absolutely love this series & can't wait for the next book! I love the way the timeline has moved & the characters have developed. It's a fantastic evolution in this incredible world!

Beautiful

As usual, the writing was complex, beautifully done, incredibly detailed. So much growth for the characters, caught glimpses of people from previous books, while the new story coming together exquisitely. Well done!

Outstanding

Loved the new storyline. It was refreshing that this book dealt with their origins and now had me really I figured about the ancestors. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they are dragons.

Epic

This installment in the series was amazing. Nalini Singh has done it again! The narration was superb as always.

Elena & Raphael and the entire Cadre has their work cut out for them from the beginning. Events are causing a major rift in the Angelic community, as they race to save the world.

Oh my!!

As always Nalini Singh has given hours of enjoyment with her wonderful words! I cried & laughed, this book was everything I hoped for!!

I really love this series

4.25 Stars 🌟

It is always so nice to step back into a world that feels so very comfortable. Almost like putting on an old comfy sweater and sitting in front of a fireplace. That's how much I have enjoyed the world of Raphael and Elena. We are 16 books into this series and in some ways, it feels like we are much deeper than that. There has been so much history, so many things that we have experienced in their journey that the number 16 seems too small. Justine Eyre narrates this book and as usual, she has been a consistent voice of the series.

This book takes us back a little bit and even though 20 years have passed in their timeline, we get to see an old part of Elena's human life come back into play. Elena's father has a health scare, and it brings into focus exactly what being "immortal" is going to mean when those that she loves, her human family, continues to age while she doesn't.

In addition to this storyline, there are some unexplainable incidents happening in the world and the Archangels at first are not sure what is causing them. They are then forced to come together as a team to achieve the things necessary to save the world as they know it. We all know that each Archangel is an entity in itself and there are some extremely huge egos at play.

As usual, this book takes off immediately and I found myself completely immersed in the storyline - actually both storylines. I am always pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy these characters and the world that Ms. Singh has created. This addition was no different. As always, the book was over much too quickly, and I know find myself eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Nalini…girl, come put me back together 🤌🏽

I have listened and relistened to every book in this series more times than any sane person should. These characters are part of me. This book was…heart breaking, heart warming, heart healing. The story was phenomenal and Marduk. Yes. Just yes. Justine is always great. Her narration is so perfect and I love that she does the whole series. She stays true to each character and how they sound. Can’t wait to relisten again and again to this one.

Wow

I was very surprise on how this book made me feel happy sad and feel contend This book still left me with some questions and hope to get answer in the future

I was concerned about elana’s and her Arcangel’s narration, at first!

It seemed the narration started out a little weak and didn’t seem to be as strong as the earlier series. The story itself was great for the series. I did enjoy it and can’t wait for more. I know you said there won’t be an heir but Elana has done so much healing and growing, I hope the writer changes her mind. This series is on a constant replay for me! Love it!!!

Amazing

Another great story. I love Elena and Raphael. Can’t wait to see what’s next. I wonder if a new love is starting with our reborn tech.
