Teaser Tuesdays: The Book of Three

easer Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play long! 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!


These memes are good fun. I've been reading so much more than I have in the past few years, that I feel like I finally have something to contribute to the reading blogosphere.

Current read: The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander

Teaser:

The golden pommel was smooth and rounded, its color deliberately muted; ash leaves covered the scabbard. It was truly the weapon of a prince.

Sigh! There's nothing quite like a beautifully painted high fantasy sword, is there?
