The Weight of Light: Book 1 of the Grigori Celestials

The carnal appetites of the disgraced warrior Watcher Angels devastated the world many millennia ago - inviting a deadly chaos into our world and carving a bloody, brutal stain into human history. And an extraordinary love that dares to transcend the boundaries of time.

Arma’ros is one of the first Watcher Angels to fall at the dawn of the human race. His fierce, unsanctioned love for one human woman leaves him tormented by his separation from Divine grace. Determined to repair the damage he and others like him have wrought upon our Earth, he vows to protect those affected by their actions - even if it means defying Divine Law.

Zoe is a cursed woman. She has a talent no other being on Earth possesses - the ability to sense and track down the feared Nephilim, the dangerous and typically diabolical offspring of the Watchers. Her dubious gift has made her a vulnerable target, attracting the deadly attentions of the Dark Celestials.

An agonizing past must be retraced to expose startling revelations – joy, pain, loss, and secret, twisted agendas of Celestials and humans, concealed since the beginning of time. Together, Zoe and Arma’ros must locate both the Watchers and Nephilim still left and the last Enochian Key to prevent them from falling into the enemy’s grasp. . . a Key that will either unlock the Song of limitless Divine Creation for humans – or unleash the complete and utter annihilation of our Earth.

** Praise for THE WEIGHT OF LIGHT - Book 1 of the Grigori Celestials:

“The Weight of Light is an awesome read! A literary treat. The depth of every aspect of this book is amazing, from the beautifully written language, the expression of emotion, the intertwining of the past and present and especially the amount of research and knowledge behind the story. A definite page-turner to the end that has me anxiously awaiting the release of the next Chronicle….” - T. N.

“I couldn't put The Weight of Light down! The author paints an amazing picture. Very descriptive, vivid, and intense. I can't wait for the next installment of the series!!” - C. J.

“I am already deep into The Weight of Light and it is a powerful lure from the jobs I should be busy with....! The most striking characters to me are in fact the depictions of the humans existing in the times of the Watchers. Having hunted, stalked game, lived in primitive circumstances and having trekked in exhausted paranoia on military exercises, I could palpably feel the fluctuating emotions and waves of calm and terror which haunted their daily existence. Chapter 10 was a delight. And so marketable for TV! Well done! Keep writing with fierce uniqueness!” - R. A. A.

“The Weight of Light is one of the best novels I have read in a long time. Had me hooked from the very first paragraph. The energy and emotions of the characters leap from the pages, becoming very real. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and many more from this author.” - P. K.

“The Weight of Light is a love story that is quite literally as old as human history. The novel is based on the Apocryphal Book of Enoch, and introduces the reader to the Sons of God and the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis 6. I was highly impressed with James’ ability to tell a religious-based tale so objectively. The use of language is beautiful, and the descriptions are very thorough. Clearly, the novel has been very well-researched prior to writing. The best part of the novel is the way the readers can feel the deep emotions felt by [the characters] as they go through divine and earthly joy and pain. …So gorgeously painted that I will use the term again – ‘divinely erotic’.” – J. W.

Love, love, love, LOVED it! I can't remember the last time I read a book this good. Keep on channelling that creative energy A.J. James, because I am anxiously waiting for more now! – J. N.
