Teaser Tuesday #5

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just flip through your current read to a random page -- or not -- and share two teaser quotes from somewhere on said page.

This week my Teaser Tuesday quotes will be taken from my current read, A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston.

Teaser #1:

"On the tenth morning, when I woke alone in my comfortable room and was not dead, I was not surprised." - page 70

Teaser #2:

"Their fear was a delicious things, so raw and powerful that I could not steer it. It could only be consumed. Their terror gave me power, before I was strong enough to bend the men of the court to my will.By the time the law was brought to bear, I did not need the girls so much anymore: I had stores of power to last. I did not stop, though. THere was no reason to, not so long as they served their daughters up to me for the asking." - page 122
