Torn From Stone - Sarah Rockwood

. .

Résumé :
They tore off her wings. Buried her past. But instinct always finds a way. Phoenix thought her life was ordinary-until a sharp-toothed creature appeared under her sink and told her the truth. She's not human. She's a Traveller-one of the winged, time-walking beings nearly erased from existence. With no memory of who she is or where she belongs, Phoenix is thrust into a whirlwind of ancient lands, ghost-haunted futures, and cities that breathe beneath the sand. The Sirens want her dead. A silver-skinned warrior hunts her like prey. And the only thing she has to defend herself is a baseball bat... and a stubborn refusal to break. They say you can't get blood from a stone. But maybe you can get wings. Torn From Stone is the fierce beginning to The Phoenix Series-a fast-paced, emotionally charged adventure about power, memory, and reclaiming what you were never meant to forget. Somewhere in the shadows of time, her story is waiting to be remembered....

Biographie:
a beautiful humanoid who moved through time on multi-coloured wings that filled the sky. So why is she here, sitting on the floor of her tiny apartment with a strange creature named Sid? Why doesn't she remember any of this? And where are her wings? Following Sid into time itself, Phoenix embarks on a wild adventure. If the Sirens don't kill her, meeting a talking Yeti might. And ancient Egypt is amazing when it isn't so ancient. Although she could do without all the snake-men chasing her. And through all this, the most terrifying man in her home world, a silver-skinned warrior named The Archer, is hunting her down. Don't worry, when the stuff really hits the fan, Phoenix isn't afraid to swing her baseball bat at whatever is in her way. They say you can't get blood from a stone, but maybe you can get wings? Either way, Phoenix sure as hell is going to try. Can a city girl travel to ancient lands, do battle with fantastical creatures, and literally find her wings?...

Sommaire:
The creature under the sink says you're not human, and only a trip into time itself will show you the truth. After a lackluster birthday party, Phoenix finds a strange creature hiding under her sink. Doing what any sensible person would do. She pokes it. And when that little guy wakes up, he rocks her world. Phoenix isn't human. The little guy under her sink just told her so. She's actually a Traveller...
