Teaser Tuesday: Wolfsbane 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 Wolfsbane by Patricia Briggs. This is the follow-up to her first book - Masques. She wrote this one a while ago but, because of the poor sales figures for Masques, didn't think it would ever be published. It is another epic fantasy title.

Description: Shapeshifting mercenary Aralorn leads a dangerous existence. Now she must return home for her noble father, the Lyon of Lambshold, has passed away. But when Aralorn and her companion Wolf arrive, they find he's not dead, but ensorcelled by the ae'Magi, using him as a conduit to destroy Aralorn and Wolf. She must overcome this mysterious mist or fall to the blackest of magic.


Teaser:

She lowered her voice and continued in a whisper. "It is said the Her laughter when he died was so terrible that all who heard it perished."


"Then how did anyone know that She laughed?" Wolf asked.


She poked him harder. "Don't ruin the mood."
