Teaser Tuesday #13

It’s Tuesday again so time for another Teaser Tuesday hosted by Should Be Reading! Here is how it works:

• 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!

And here is my Teaser for this week:

I had all the usual trepidation I felt when approaching Nicomedes. Emma’s presence didn’t help. I  remembered our last meeting, his torn face and scratched eye sockets, and hoped he’d at least sewn himself up. As we descended the staris my sense of dread mounted.
