An immortal watcher and a royal heiress unravel the mysteries of the ages in their quest to conquer evil and save a lost world.
**The series is now complete!**

Elijah is a watcher, part of an order of immortals placed on earth at the dawn of time to teach and guide humans. When the evil Semjaza leads a third of the order in rebellion, Eli tries to contain the damage. But thousands of years later, the fallen watchers’ destructive influence on humanity has only spread.

It is 1914, and the evil watchers, now led by Lu, have started a world war, which Eli is desperate to stop. But everything changes when Eli meets the remarkable French nurse, Michelle.

Eli must face his feelings for the affectionate Michelle as he fights to stop Lu’s dark forces and save the world. Michelle tries to uncover the truth about the mysterious Eli and learns of her own secret bloodline. But all is not as it seems.

Elijah’s Awakening is the first thrilling novel in the Chronicles of the Watchers series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who will win the struggle... Good or Evil?
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2022

Elijah's Awakening is Book 1 in the Chronicles of the Watchers by J William Hauck. I have read many Inspirational and Christian fiction including Christian fantasy. But, I have never read a book like Elijah's Awakening. I felt the book was excellent and it is definitely both Inspirational and a Christian fantasy. Elijah, or Eli, was sent to Earth as an immortal as a Watcher. The story shows how "angels" inner act with humans as a guide. The story then picks up around WWI. I don't want to spoil the book by getting specific, so I will say that the book shows the struggle between good and evil. I felt that J William Hauck took me on a journey across years with strong characters and an interesting story. The story ends, but, also leads into book 2. I can't wait to read Book 2. I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.

This book was a very different take on history and the influence of power. A good versus evil with a twist. I found myself intrigued by the main characters role.

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2022
I hate when I take so long on a FANTASTIC book.
But once again, sometimes you just SAVE THE BEST ONES FOR LAST.
Elijah is Watcher, an immortal who protects the world. One who hopes to steer the world in towards the right path of goodness and prosperity.
Elijah is then sent to the world from his angelic form to be mortal, to protect the people of the world.
To help them in the struggles between Good versus Evil.
However, the struggles with his path that he is set on begin to bear down on him.
Elijah begins to become despondent by all the wickedness brought on by war
The book takes place during WWI and Hauck does an impressive job flip flopping, from the past to the present.
Hauck gives something for all genres of readers. from Romance, Action, Non-Fiction, Spiritual, to Historical elements, all rolled up in one, to make one spectacular novel.
Character development is nicely implemented along with word building finesse that captivates the reader.
The book does leave readers on a cliff hanger, but that is to be suspected since there is a book 2.
That I can most Assuredly KNOW YOU WILL WANT TO BUY.
Because who doesn’t want to know what happens to ELIJAH?

5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020
Ok, when is the next one coming?! This book was so good. After a slow start for me because I don't usually care for books on war, I got to the part where a relationship started, and I was hooked. This book has good and evil, science fiction and history all rolled into one. The relationships between the characters, whether family or friends were gripping and well written. The author has researched well, and the historical bits were accurate, This is a great read, and I am glad I kept on reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Next installment, please!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020
My (spoiler-free) take: this book is a fantasy novel based in religious mythology that felt akin to C.S. Lewis in my opinion, but Elijah’s Awakening works world history into the mix as well.

A highly creative premise + thought provoking material on issues like faith and the human condition + a whole world created within its pages = an excellent, page-turning read 👍👍👍

4.0 out of 5 stars An engaging read
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022
The first thing to know is that this book is not Christian fiction - its world is polytheistic. I spent too much time critiquing its heresies and finally decided that it’s simply mislabeled. That being said, as a fantasy novel, it’s quite engaging.

The second thing to know is that this book is part of a series, not a stand-alone. It ends on a cliff-hanger, so be forewarned. As of the writing of this review, the second book, Elijah’s Quest, is available, and it sounds like more will be forthcoming.

It’s a good vs. evil tale with magical elements and compelling characters. I enjoy stories with immortals and historical events, and this book delivers. Unfortunately, most of the book takes place during WWI, which is one of my least-favorite time periods, but there are good reasons for it, and I do know that my dislike of that time period is a personal problem.

There are a few typos, but not many. The writing is generally good with only the odd clunky sentence. Despite the known historical events and characters, I wasn’t quite sure what was going to happen next. There’s not a lot of telegraphing, which kept the story intriguing.

It actually reminded me of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, in that the author found ways to explain history through magical characters acting in the background. Pretty cool. I do recommend this book for those who enjoy these types of stories.
