Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!
“Outside the city, crops and barns were burning, set ablaze by soldiers of the rebel government. Emperor charles was coming – or at least his troops were, led by the Prince of Orange – and the rebels did not intend for them to find succor beyond the walls of Florence.”
- The Devil’s Queen: A Novel of Catherine de Medici by Jeanne Kalogridis, p. 80

I love books like this, from this particular era. So of course I was intrigued even before the teaser. But it was an excellent choice, and very dramatic. Thanks!
My own teaser is at Bookishgal.
(And I love your blog template. I use the same one. It’s so versatile, isn’t it?)
