Armageddon: Bring it on! (Sins of the Warrior by Linda Poitevin book tour) + giveaway

Armageddon: Bring it on!

When I started writing the first book in the Grigori Legacy series, Sins of the Angels, I really didn’t mean to cause Armageddon. The deeper into the series I got, however, the more inevitable the idea became…especially when it became clear to me that confrontation between Heaven and Hell was unavoidable (you can blame Lucifer). I mean, really…how could I have all-out war between angels and the Fallen in Sins of the Warrior and not destroy the world in the process?

Inevitable, I tell you.

And also flippin’ hard work. :P

The sheer logistics of trying to cram the end of the world (well, some of it might survive *winks*) into 436 pages was overwhelming to say the least. How much description was enough? How much was too much? How much of the world’s misery could I (and should I) fit into a book that was ultimately supposed to be about Alex—her fight to save her niece, humanity, and herself?

In the end, I found that what I didn’t say mattered almost as much as—and sometimes more than—what I did say. It wasn’t necessary to detail every explosion, every battle, or every questionable decision made by world governments. It was enough to put the dots in place and let readers draw their own pictures, in part because I think the human imagination already tends to work overtime when it comes to Armageddon scenarios, and also because I think we as humans are only to cognizant of our ultimate fragility.

Because I think sometimes what’s left unsaid is ultimately more horrifying.

What do you think?

Sins of the Warrior (The Grigori Legacy #4)

by Linda Poitevin
Heaven and Hell are at war

The clock is ticking

Homicide detective Alexandra Jarvis’s niece is missing and pregnant with Lucifer’s child, her sister has descended into madness, and the human race has begun a relentless spiral toward self-destruction that Alex is desperate to stop. Now Michael, the Archangel she holds responsible for Earth's plight, has returned—and he's demanding her help to track a missing god.

Heaven is losing

Fighting for the very survival of his own realm—and that of humanity—Michael’s only chance to defeat Hell lies in returning Heaven’s long-lost daughter to her throne before it’s too late. But first he’ll have to convince Alex to help him—and to keep her out of Seth’s clutches long enough for her to do so.

There can be no right choices

In a desperate bid to save both their worlds, Alex and Michael must put aside their animosity and find a way to work together in the face of increasingly impossible decisions…and unimaginable sacrifices.
