This week I've just begun a new book, Shadow of Night, by Deborah Harkness. This is the second book in the All Soul's Trilogy. Matthew and Diana have safely time-walked back to the year 1590 and arrived in England as planned. After a few days settling in, Matthew makes an attempt to find a local witch to teach Diana how to control her constantly changing powers.
The Tease:
"A true witch can relight the fire, open the pages of the book, and stop the bell from ringing. She is a wonderful creature in the eyes of God."
Widow Beaton paused for dramatic effect, and her milky eye rolled in my direction.
"Can you perform these acts, girl?"
"I'm not sure," I confessed hesitantly."

What's your Tease?
Rolling milky eyes sounds kind of creepy! My teaser is from a mystery this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser from a great book!
ReplyDeleteI just finished this and I absolutely loved it. Even though I wanted to smack Matthew and Diana a couple of times for being so pigheaded. But it fit to their characters so I shouldn't complain so much. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm teasing Sarah Rees Brennan's Unspoken this week.
Not our kind of book but hope you are enjoying it!

Time travel and witches. Not the kind of book I usually read, but this one could change my mind. Good teaser.
