Publisher's Synopsis
The Nodes of the Earth(c) Vol. 2 - Shadows in the West -
Eight years after the crisis in which they vanquished Evil in the land of Turkana, Alexandra Daugherty and Sebastian d'Alonso face a reality different from their expectations. The two secret societies that had been rivals for seven hundred years have merged into the Foundation, which is now managing humanity's greatest discovery but also facing the challenges the Western world evokes within itself. Friendships, relationships, and the protagonists themselves seem to be under the influence of an unending saga that has its origins in ancient times. In 1600s Europe, a witch roams with a singular, ruthless, and unwavering objective, cynical, and essential in her determination. Ancient drawings, dramatic events, and forgotten knowledge cast ripples into the world of 2018. Meanwhile, the specter of September 11 lurks among those who would do anything to see their lost loved ones avenged. The plans of various minds intertwine, building to a crescendo that explodes, dragging the reader into an unpredictable dimension, where the necessity of survival and temporal paradoxes overlap and weave together, leading to a surprising ending.
