Teaser Tuesday: The Lost Angel by Javier Sierra

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
1. Grab your current read.
2. Open to a random page.
3. Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!).
5. Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


My Teaser:

          The young man with the tattoo on his cheek looked worried.
'Sheikh, do you know this man?'
His leader, the one with the thick mustache, nodded absentmindedly. He felt like the walls of the narrow cafe were closing in on him. It was clear he was trying to hold back a torrent of emotions and memories that came rushing to the surface even as he merely stood next to the enormous man collapsed on the floor in front of him. Waasfi was right when he said that 'they' -- their ancient enemies -- were in the city.
'His name is Nicholas Allen, brother,' he whispered. 'For years, each of us has been chasing the adamantas.'
Waasfi looked down again at the fallen soldier. The amrak's electromagnetic pulse had left him in a catatonic state that could very well be irreversible. - pg. 101, The Lost Angel by Javier Sierra
