TEASER TUESDAY #9

Teaser Tuesday is an intriguing meme started by Miz B over at Books and a Beat.

All you have to do is:

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

I finally decided to start reading Daniel Abraham’s series The Dagger and the Coin, a five volume fantasy saga whose first volume THE DRAGON’S PATH has been sitting for a long time on my reader.   The quote I’ve decided to share belongs to a character that has all the appearances of a bumbling loser, and yet there are sides to him that make me think he will not stay that way….

It occurred to him, as he descended the wide, polished wood stairs and walked across the wide hall, that he wore the cloak much the way he’d have worn a mask. Because it was well made and impressive, he hid in it, hoping people would see it and not him.

As first books go, this one sounds very promising, and the fact that the whole series has been published and I will not have to wait to see how events unfold is a huge plus, indeed.
