TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- 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!
My teaser:
And finally, I remembered the stories Uncle told us as we crouched around the fire. Stories of the execution of King Charles I of England, who was taken up the steps of Whitehall-Gate, bent over a block, and separated head from neck by a tall, hooded executioner who held the head aloft for all of London to see and proclaimed, “The King, tyrant, and despoiler of the people, is dead.”
-pg. 226, The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent

Turbulent times–terrific teaser!
What an image those words conjure in my mind.
Yet another reason why I need to bump this book up on the To Read pile – great Teaser.
Great teaser!
Oh – I just finished this book on Sunday and LOVED it. The first half sets the tone for the characters, and once you reach the middle, it is impossible to put down! Hope you like it.
