Guardian of the Sky Realms

Maree Webster—an "almost-emo" from the western suburbs of Sydney—hates school, has few friends, and is obsessed with angels and fallen angel stories. Life is boring until she decides to steal a famous painting from a small art gallery that has been haunting her dreams: swirling reds, greys and oranges of barely discernible winged figures. There, she meets a stranger who claims to know her and stumbles into a world where cities float in the sky, and daemons roam the barren, magma-spewing crags of the land far below. And all is not well—Maree is turning into something she loves but at the same time, fears. Most fearful of all is the prospect of losing her identity—what makes her Maree, and more importantly, what makes her human. Guardian of the Sky Realms takes the reader on a journey through exotic fantasy lands, as well as across the globe, from Sydney to Paris, from the Himalayas to Manhattan. At its heart, it is a novel about transformation.

Maree Webster - un „aproape-emo” din suburbiile vestice din Sydney - uraste scoala, are putini prieteni si este obsedat de ingeri si de povesti despre ingeri cazuti. Viata este plictisitoare pana cand decide sa fure un tablou celebru dintr-o mica galerie de arta care ii bantuie visurile: rosii invartite, gri si portocale de figuri cu aripi abia sesizabile.
