Happy Friday!
Book Beginnings is hosted by Gillion at Rose City Reader. She asks that the first sentence is posted along with the author and title of the book and the reader's initial thoughts on the sentence, the book, or anything else it inspires.
Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower.org also provides a linky for sharing first lines and connecting with others. This meme asks that the chosen books be PG or marked as Mature if they are not.
The Friday 56 was hosted by Freda at Freda's Voice. This meme is currently on hiatus but many of us are still including a sentence from page 56 or from 56% of the ebook. Anne @ Head Full of Books is picking up the slack until Freda is ready to return. I think this link will get you to the correct place.
Beginning:
Lady Daneska lies on the bed in a feverish struggle. Infection stemming from a gunshot wound holds her in delirium, and she thrashes as if she's fighting her way through an overgrown maze.
Friday 56:
"Non!" His eyes widen in fright. "Non! Do not. S'il vous plait."Tess crosses her arms and slants her head. "It seems you do understand some English, monsieur." Over her shoulder, Tromos growls dangerously.
What if you’d been born two centuries ago during a dangerously superstitious time… with the ability to see the spiritual realm? Hint: mentioning you can see angels and demons would be a surefire way to get locked away in the attic.
Sera’s family cast her off and sent her away to Stranje House, a reform school for unusual girls. But unbeknownst to their parents, these young ladies, who each possess remarkable talents, are being trained to enter the perilous world of espionage, diplomacy, and war. Sera loves the sisterhood she finds among these outcasts, but she dares not reveal her more peculiar gifts for fear of losing her new friends.
Conquering Europe wasn’t enough for Napoleon. Now, he wants Britain. His band of assassins and spies, the Iron Crown Brotherhood, led by a ruthless man known only as Ghost, have abducted the Prince Regent. Britain is teetering on ruin, Sera and the young ladies of Stranje House must risk their lives in a desperate attempt to free the Prince before it’s too late. Sera’s secret gifts are desperately needed to help avert disaster. But will she dare risk it?
Amid the chaos, Sera discovers that the one person who truly understands her is the one man they all fear the most. The man set on destroying England. Can she save her homeland and her heart from Ghost?
