Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Purple Booker. Here are the rules if you want to play along:
- 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
The Zenana, or women’s quarter, of Daršanga palace was a world unto itself. It was the Mahrkagir’s giant, Tahmuras, who escorted me there. He said nothing along the way, and I would have wondered if he were deaf and dumb, were it not for the alacrity with which he had obeyed the Mahrkagir’s command. Tahmuras strode down the halls, descending a stair, all but ignoring me as I stumbled in his wake.

I really need to make better progress on this book, but it’s so long!
No Top Ten today because I am short on time. Hopefully I can get back to doing those on a more regular basis as well.
Please leave your teasers in comments!

Life With No Plot 
Interesting teaser!
Good descriptive writing. Makes me curious for more after reading this scene.
The privateer grinned. Again I was struck by the thought that there was something off about his features.
“My mother was an oyster,” he said with a wink. “And I’m the pearl.”

Love Leigh Bardugo!
I love this series. I love her take on magic and I love that it’s not set in feudal Europe like so much medieval fantasy.
