Dominion of the Star (Descendants of the Fallen Book 1) by Angelica Clyman | Book Review of a Thought-Provoking Post-Apocalyptic Tale

Dominion of the Star (Descendants of the Fallen Book 1) by Angelica Clyman ..

Today I have a review of Dominion of the Star, Book 1 of the Descendants of the Fallen, by Angelica Clyman.

Almost eighteen years have passed since the Eclipse changed the Earth forever, and Sebastian Za’in rose from the chaos and seized control, imposing his order on the broken planet. In a world ruled by fear and superstition, where all gods have perished, there is no one who can stand up to Za’in, the man rumored to be one of the Nephilim—hybrid offspring of Angel and Man. In a few short months, another Eclipse will occur, and while there are those who expect a new natural disaster, Za’in has plans of his own . . .

Completely unaware of this global turmoil, Kayla Steelryn has spent most of her life in a quiet village, longing to uncover her hidden past. When she leaves her home in search of answers, she finds herself faced with the truth about her identity, forced to choose between the two men she loves, and thrust into a conflict where she alone has the power to stop an event more disastrous than the end of the world.

Fans of post-apocalyptic fiction, especially those interested in exploring spirituality and philosophy within the genre, will find elements to appreciate in this book.
