This week my teaser is from Naamah's Curse by Jacqueline Carey. It is the sequel to Naamah's Kiss. I chose the first two sentences of the book to give a taste of what is in store.

As the city of Shuntian dwindled in the distance behind me, a mixture of dread and exhilaration filled me. I was all alone in the vast empire of Ch'in.

 Here is the blurb from Amazon:

Far from the land of her birth, Moirin sets out across Tatar territory to find Bao, the proud and virile Ch'in fighter who holds the missing half of her diadh-anam, the divine soul-spark of her mother's people. After a long ordeal, she not only succeeds, but surrenders to a passion the likes of which she's never known. But the lovers' happiness is short lived, for Bao is entangled in a complication that soon leads to their betrayal. 

I liked the language and the complex fantasy in this novel.
