The teaser for this week comes from the fifth book in the Nightrunners series by Lynn flewelling: The White Road (Nightrunner). I'm not crazy about this particular book, but I think this author has some strong novels which I love to read and re-read.
"It's been years, and you look just the same, you shameless bastard. What brings you here after all this time?"
A second one from the same chapter:
"According to the Heralds, Queen Phoria has the upper hand for now. It's stretched on far too long, if you ask me. Shortages of everything. The sutlers have bought up meat, flour, sugar, horses, leather, even candle wax!"

ReplyDeleteHere is my Teaser Tuesday: Voltaire's Calligrapher by Pablo De Santis
I picked random sentences for the teaser (I'm sure everyone can tell) as I was short on time!
ReplyDeleteThe series is obscure, but really good.
It has gay main characters, which I thought was super unusual when I read it as a teen.
This series looks good. Thanks for the teaser!
