Return from Exile

Exile of Angels #0.5

by Ron C. Nieto

What price would you be willing to pay for knowledge?

Henry Black believed in himself and nothing else. He believed everything could be known and understood, and he had the brilliance to support his claim. Or so he thought...

In his quest for knowledge, Henry stumbled upon the truth. Or rather, he stumbled upon someone who told him how to find the truth.

He’d have dismissed the man as a rambling lunatic seeking recruits for an obscure sect, but the claim came supported by facts. By a taste of the insight that could be gained, if only he dared to follow the path.

And really, how could he be expected to resist? Understanding of the world, answers to every single question man had ever asked–all of it his for the taking.

They warned him. They told him ultimate knowledge would require him to pay the ultimate price. But Henry Black was a genius, and he thought he was smarter than them. He thought his mind could take the burden of truth… and maybe it could.

But his soul? That was another matter.

This is the start of a new series from Ron C Nieto and only available to subscribers of her newsletter. You're not a subscriber? Well, I would join asap if I was you.

This tale pulls you in, as Henry Black's whole being is drawn in. He wants the ultimate knowledge, the truth, and he will pay the ultimate price for this. Henry thinks he can take it, and overcome it. But can he? As Jack Nicholson points out in 'A Few Good Men', "The truth? You can't handle the truth!". Excellent, thrilling writing.

I was given a free ecopy of this book which I voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

Return from Exile is a great prequel to the series and provides great information on Henry Black and the Archangel of Secret Knowledge. Fun read and sets you up for the series.

This is an interesting take on fallen angels. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Great introduction to Fall from Grace and a way for the reader to understand the difference between the before and after persona of Henry Black once he acquired the knowledge he craved. Knowledge comes with a price tag, and it's one you must pay.

I won't ever get tired of saying how I love the way Nieto writes and describes, and how she adapts her writing depending on which story she's writing and how she gets inside her characters' head.
