Lili St. Crow

(Prolog)

„   Nu i-am spus tatălui meu despre bufnița albă a bunicii. Știu că ar fi trebuit s-o fac.

   La granița dintre somn și vis, se manifestă uneori acele trăiri care nu s-au întrupat încă nici în vise și nici în premoniții clare, fiind mai degrabă câte puțin din fiecare. Atunci deschizi încet ochii lipiți de somn, cân senzația că cineva te privește biruiește căldura și toropeala care te învăluie ca o ceață vătuită.

Out of Sight, Out of Time

Ally Carter

   "So it's English, is it?"

   As soon as the young woman moved to stand at the end of the bed, I could see that she was beautiful. She had an Irish accent and strawberry blond hair in a shade the could never be anything but natural. Soft curls framed a slightly freckled face with blue eyes and a...”
