Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• 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!

“I swear by God I never abused my sovereigns bed.” Wept pleadingly, the words were lost on the wind one that blew over a nation that cared nothing for the young Queen nor the grim fate she steadily neared. Yet, horror-striken, she spoke to them still, a silent testimony to the truth no one wished to hear, “In the name of God and all his holy angels and on the salvation of my soul, I am innocent of the crimes for which I am condemned!” ~ page 1 The Queens mistake by Diane Haeger
