Amulet

Legend tells of fallen angels banished from Heaven during the war between the army of God and his Archangel Lucifer. There were angels who refused to take sides. For their lack of action they were banished from Heaven. Some fell into the sea, some fell into Hell itself - and the rest fell on Ireland.

Deep in a lake in Bavaria, Germany, two amateur divers uncover a sparkling gem with a long history and a hidden potential for good and evil, leading to an utterly terrifying chain of events.

In a world that seems to have lost its way and its soul, where the age of death is known and life has lost its lustre, the battle for the gem and all that it brings stretches from the boardrooms of America to the presidential chambers of Germany and even to the sleepy shores of Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland.

Amulet is the powerful and breath-taking sequel to A. L. McAuley's stunning debut novel, 88, an explosive story of miracles and mayhem, kidnapping and killings, which earned an impressive string of 5-Star reviews.
