This week my Tease is not from my current read. Instead I've chosen a Tease from a novel I read a few years ago, just to shake things up a bit. Elantris is the debut novel from Brandon Sanderson, published in 2005, back before he was chosen to complete The Wheel of Time series for Robert Jordan. It's a rather brilliant fantasy novel, entirely unique, and very entertaining.
The Tease:
"The Shaod, it was called. The Transformation...
When it came, the fortunate person's life ended and began anew; he would discard his old, mundane existence and move to Elantris.
Elantris, where he could live in bliss, rule in wisdom, and be worshiped for eternity.
Eternity ended ten years ago."
