Synopsis

During an archaeological dig in the icy Arctic tundra, a scientist stumbles upon a tiny embryo, still bearing the spark of life, in the womb of a 25.000-year-old Neanderthal woman. Using a surrogate mother, Ember is born, and as she grows, she begins to uncover the mysteries of her strange gifts.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Anthropologist Yute Nahadeh stumbles upon the scientific discovery of the millenia: a tiny embryo in the womb of a 25,000-year-old Neanderthal, preserved in arctic ice. So begins a secret research. He implants the embryo in a surrogate mother, and a Neanderthal girl is born in our time. Named Ember, she is raised among the Quanoot Indians of Whaler Bay, Washington. Guided by a shaman who has waited for her return, pursued by the man of science who brought her to life, Ember is drawn to a place where no one else can go—where her ancestors, the golden-skinned people of her dreams, wait for her to set them free. “Weaves a genuinely magic spell.” Kirkus Reviews
