Time of the Faeries: Afterlight - The Angel Apocalypse
These Angels will eat your aura for breakfast.
Not what you’d expect from the celestial beings we all know, but in Time of the Faeries: Afterlight they murder humans for energy to sustain themselves after the world takes a turn for the worse. This is the Apocalyptic future in which we humans have destroyed our own world and Angels are massacering the few who are left.
These Angels are not Vampires, but it’s hard to tell the difference when they hunt and feed on our kind.
Time of the Faeries: Afterlight is a four-part graphic novel series that explore the origins of the Faeries, the evolution of Angels and Vampires from a common Fae ancestor, and their own unique adaptations to the modern world. It follows the alliances and tensions that develop between these three species as they struggle to protect human civilization or shape it to their will. The Afterlight follows several lines of cause and effect, revealing possible versions of the Apocalypse at the hands of all three species.
In the first book, Afterlight, End of the World, we begin at the end with the Angel Apocalypse: a dying Earth, ravaged by war, now hosts only a few scattered pockets of humanity. These last survivors are being hunted to extinction by starving Angels, their energy consumed so that the Angels might live. Below ground, a small band of shape-shifting male faeries called the Phelans struggle to protect the last collection of human life in Los Angeles and a mysterious young girl who may hold the key to their survival. Above ground, as the winged forces amass to complete their genocide, a lone Angel named Halyon struggles to understand what went wrong, and why her race now hunts the very people they were charged to protect.
And what of the Faerie Apocalypse and the Vampire Apocalypse? That remains to be seen in The Afterlight.

I did not know there were different breeds of faerie..my favorite breed would be the one that wouldn't chow down on my aura. The art work is beautiful.
I would have to say that Afterlife embodies what I love of Faerie and fae. The glorified fluffy faeries aren't present that the true myths of blood thirsty magical beings come to life. I love looking in to the truth behind our modern watered down stories, my favorite type of faerie would have to be the Kelpie, if for no other reason but a line in a book I read said by one still haunts me.
I have been waiting for this for a long time, I am so glad it is finally out. I am a life long fan.
The artwork is amazing. I'm so excited this is finally out!!

I'm not sure I have a favorite breed of fae. I guess the closest I would have to a favorite would be a sidhe or maybe a svarlten (spelling?).

I'm really excited that people are enjoying the art in The Afterlight! And some of these fae species, I've never heard before myself! Like the svarlten right now. Going to do some research!
As always your photographs are so real and inviting and now something to really sink my teeth into.
I can't wait to read this, and the Phelans, so far are my favorite. munch, munch
Whichever faeries take care of the flowers and vegetables in the garden, those are my favorite.

The Phelans were really fun to play with! ..the idea that faeries can change shape at will, and a few of them choose the form of the wolves..We spent a whole day at a wolf sanctuary getting to know the wolves before photographing them for this book.
My favorite breed of faeries would be dryads ^_^

I found out about this book quite by accident and now cannot wait for the rest of the series.
Sounds like a series I could devour. teehee :). Look forward to reading it.
I dont know if I have a favorite. I guess I just like the Fae in general in all their forms and ways. Definitely love the pictures!
