Teaser Tuesdays 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!

They came from Memphis, Thebes and Helipolis to see the Savior born. Slaves and freedmen, merchants and artisans, poets and priests-they call came. Babylonian oracles came with their prophesies. Even Romans came, for their mystic poet Virgil, had foreseen a new era and a worthier race of men. ~ pg 1 Prologue 40BC Lily of the Nile
