Teaser Tuesday #417, April 9th

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker. 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Today's teaser comes from Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton, page 180.

"She had never imagined so many rich cultures melding together in one place. For the first time she understood the true cost of King Ronan's policies: he had drained the river kingdom of the energy and life that once flowed through it, like a body drained of blood."

Well, that's pretty morbid, but true! What about you guys? Happy reading!
