After a brazen attack on Israel, Rhyme must fight for her freedom from her evil

Embers of Shadow by Lloyd Jeffries is a complex and
thrilling tale that weaves multiple storylines and characters across different periods. The story is set in modern-day Maryland,
Israel, and ancient Turkey, with the
plot spanning over 2,000 years. The plot moves at a brisk clip. The plot
points are intriguing, from the mysterious
and urgent call to Bill, a journalist, to meet Cain, which sets off a chain of
events that puts him amid an
epic battle to the ancient
story of Longinus, who is transformed into a giant to fight against an army,
and his subsequent flight to Rome. The attack on the Church of the Transfiguration seems to be connected to Cain's plans
and it creates a sense of suspense and intrigue. The conflict is brilliantly
handled, revolving around the struggle
between good and evil, with characters like Cain and Sephus epitomizing darkness and chaos. This novel has a
complex setting, from ancient Turkey to modern-day Maryland. Using ancient settings such as Misthli
(modern-day Turkey) and the Church of the Transfiguration adds a sense of
historical depth to the story. In contrast, the modern-day setting in Maryland provides a contemporary context for
the plot. The characters in the
novel are multidimensional and complex, with motivations that are not
always clear. This engrossing thriller is peppered with witty dialogues, emotionally
charged scenes, and action that keep readers turning the pages.
