Teaser Tuesday #4

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

To play along, just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share 2 (two) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE ANY SPOILERS!  (Make sure 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 list if they like your teaser!

"He sounded so sincere, so reasonable, less a creature of relentless ambition than a man who believed he was doing the right thing for his people.  Despite all he'd done and all he intended, I did almost believe him.  Almost" (325).

- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
