Alexandria Grace Groaban finally has an answer to the question that plagued her throughout her childhood and young adult life: Why is she different than anyone else she knows? After coming home to Oxford for Christmas, and suffering a near fatal attack at the hands of Bertrand, she has come to learn that she contains within her, the soul of the oldest and most powerful of the Lord’s Nephilim. And her journey to Aeoferth Hall and Elysium has only just scratched the surface for what is to come. Alex must now push herself past the bounds of what they all think her mortal body can withstand, to find the answer that the Nephilim have wanted as well: How did Arianna perish? In order to protect her loved ones, both mortal and immortal, she will need every detail she can gather to save them all in time. And she must face the warning Ganymede gave her after the last attack on Aeoferth: that her time as a mortal is rapidly running short. Together, with Gaius, Jack, and the other Nephilim, Alexandria will embark on an exciting quest for answers concerning Kronis. And together, they will journey far away from England to help her learn if an immortal life is the correct choice for her, in this thrilling second volume in the Children of Angels series: Immortal Reborn: Alexandria’s Choice.

When Alexandria Grace Groaban was a child, she learned she was very different from other children and adults she encountered. She saw and heard things that no child should ever bear witness to. She knew details of things and people long since passed, and she could hear voices and repeat them in whatever language she heard during the scenes which played out before her young and impressionable eyes. Through an encounter with someone she thought to be her guardian angel, Alexandria was given a reprieve so that she might know some normalcy in her childhood. But at the age of twenty-one, Alexandria returned home to her family’s small estate outside Oxford, England for Christmas, and learned the hard way that her grace period was about to come to an abrupt and vicious end. Now, whether for better or worse, she will find herself on the edge of a great precipice. One that will call her into action and into a world that she could never have fathomed existed. For Alexandria to know who and what she truly is, she will have to rise to the challenge of a battle that has been waged for millennia by beings first spoken of in Genesis, and embrace that which has lay dormant within her since she was a child.

Sometimes, the right choices are the most difficult to navigate. For Alexandria, coming to terms with the immortal life she has agreed to embrace, while still holding on to herself, will call on all the internal and physical strength she has. Though her angelic father, Ganymede, intends for her to ease into the new body and life that has been created for her, his Fallen brother, Rangor, has other plans. And Alex has plans for Kronis as well. Plans that call for him to have one last chance to turn away from the life of sin and hate that his father cultivated in him for millennia. In a bid for peace, and in the hope to keep Alexandria alive, the Nephilim of the Light will have to charge ahead on a quest to find Kronis, before he and his father come for Alex again. And through the great struggles and battles to come, Alex must also decide to whom she will give her heart: Gaius or Jackson. Both so dear and precious to her, yet only one can truly lay claim to her heart as her husband. She will search her very soul to discover the one whom it cries out for, amidst the great danger swirling around all those she loves. Join Alexandria and her loved ones in this breathtaking third volume in the Children of Angels series: Immortal Reborn: Choices of the Heart.
