- Behind the scenesWritten twice
For this book Spohr changed his style: simpler language and a faster pace than A Batalha do Apocalipse. He wrote the whole book, then rewrote it from scratch.
source ↗ - ReferenceNot a sequel
Many readers expected a sequel to A Batalha do Apocalipse. Spohr didn't want to be tied to the earlier plot: same universe, new leads. The archangel Raphael, absent from the first book, shows up here.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesA timeline at the back
Each book in the trilogy includes a timeline of the major events in heaven and on Earth, told from the celestial point of view. The covers are by Stephan Stölting.
source ↗ - SetupRemember the Watchers
A third storyline follows the First Angel, leader of the Watchers, who guided the first human tribes and were punished for refusing to take part in ancient catastrophes. Keep that name in mind.

- Behind the scenesThe book he always wanted
Spohr called Anjos da Morte the book he always wanted to write, because he always wanted to tackle the 20th century. He visited Normandy and later Amsterdam, and said he researched like crazy.
source ↗ - ReferenceDenyel versus Ablon
Spohr contrasted Denyel with Ablon from A Batalha do Apocalipse: Denyel pays for not standing by his principles. The author tied it to choices many people make at work.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThree parts, 88 chapters
The book came out in May 2013 at 588 pages, split into three parts and 88 chapters. Spohr says he spends about a year and a half writing each book.

- Behind the scenesBetter to wait
The book was planned for the second half of 2015 and slipped. Spohr explained it was better to wait a little than rush out a book full of flaws. It came out on October 20, 2015.
source ↗ - ReferenceAblon returns
One storyline is set before the Flood and brings back Ablon, the hero of A Batalha do Apocalipse, still loyal to heaven and ordered to capture Metatron.
source ↗ - ReferenceBridge to Armageddon
Spohr said Paraíso Perdido closes the trilogy and sets up the events of A Batalha do Apocalipse. If you haven't read his first book yet, story order says now is the time.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesThe same team
Stephan Stölting returned for the cover. Illustrator Andrés Ramos took on the saga's visual encyclopedia, released in 2016 as Filhos do Éden: Universo Expandido.

- Behind the scenesIt started online
The book first came out through NerdBooks, the store label of the Jovem Nerd site, where Spohr wrote and appeared on the Nerdcast podcast. It sold over 4,000 copies with no publisher. Verus released it in June 2010, and it hit 50,000 copies by December.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesWritten while out of work
Spohr wrote the book while unemployed and said he woke up not knowing what would happen next. Part of the story is set in Israel, where he had never been, so he researched it heavily.
source ↗ - Behind the scenesIt left Brazil
The book was published in the Netherlands (Engelen van de Apocalyps, 2011), Portugal (Editorial Presença, 2012) and Turkey (Armageddon, 2016). There is still no English or Spanish edition.
source ↗ - ReferenceA four-book universe
The guide Filhos do Éden: Universo Expandido (2016) calls this book and the trilogy an angelic tetralogy. All four share one timeline, with castes of angels, demons and gods.
