    Walker, Dan

    Abstract

    C'est Zoya qui les remarqua la première. Des lumières brûlantes orangées dans le sombre ciel de la nuit. Au début, elle pensa que c'était peut-être des feux d'artifice ou des étoiles, peut-être des lanternes. Mais non. C'était des missiles en feu qui se dirigeaient directement sur eux. Le Libellule se faisait attaquer… La dernière chose que Zoya vit fut une tempête de feu orangé. Maintenant, elle se retrouvait couchée sur le sol dur, entourée de débris, le rire glacial et maniaque de Lendon Kane résonnant encore dans ses oreilles.
