Teaser Tuesday - A Dance with Dragons

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* 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!)
* Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their To Be Read (TBR) Lists if they like your teasers!

----------
So I've finally started A Dance with Dragons.  I bought it when it came out in July, and have just been waiting to get caught up on my other reading before I started this massive tome.  I imagine that there will be several weeks worth of Teasers from this book, at least.  In this scene, while standing over a dead soldier, Dany comes to the realization that occupying and ruling a city is far different from conquering it.

The Tease:
 ""This is the first of my soldiers they have slain."
"The first," Ser Barristan warned, "but not the last."
I am still at war, Dany realized, only now I am fighting shadows.
She had hoped for a respite from the killing, for some time to build and heal."
 -A Dance with Dragons, by George R. R. Martin

What's your Tease?
