Teaser Tuesday: Masques by Patricia Briggs

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• 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 TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser this week is from Masques by Patricia Briggs. This is her first book. She edited it some to get rid of the things that most embarrassed her but left enough that people who read the original would recognize it. I never did read the original but I am enjoying this book.


Product description: After an upbringing of proper behavior and oppressive expectations, Aralorn fled her noble birthright for a life of adventure as a mercenary spy. Her latest mission involves spying on the increasingly powerful sorcerer Geoffrey ae'Magi. But in a war against an enemy armed with the powers of illusion, how do you know who the true enemy is-or where he will strike next?


Teaser:

There was enough temper in his eyes, if not his voice, that a prudent person would have backed down.


Not even her enemies had ever called Aralorn prudent.
