I'm currently reading Theft of Swords, Volume One of the Riyria Revelations, by Michael J Sullivan.  In this scene, Thrace -- the young woman who hired Royce and Hadrian to help her protect her village from a fearsome beast -- has accidentally killed the beast herself, putting the church of Nyphron in the unique position of being forced to recognize her as the heir to the throne of a new empire that the church is secretly trying to form.  Bishop Saldur and Luis Guy, an officer of the church, discuss how they can use this situation to their advantage.

The Tease:

""She will make the perfect figurehead," Guy said.
Saldur looked up, picturing the future.  "An innocent girl linked with a mythic legend.  Her beautiful name will be everywhere and she will be loved."
The bishop paused and thought.
"What is her name, anyway?""
