This week's teaser is taken from A Draw of Kings by Patrick Carr and The Ruby Pendant by Dorine White. Enjoy.

A Draw of Kings (Staff and Sword, 3) by Patrick Carr (my review):

"Errol is odd in his strangeness. He's seen more in the past year than most men could boast in a lifetime and have saved the kingdom twice under a burden that would crush most men, yet he still seems a boy in many ways."

The Ruby Pendant (Cleopatra's Legacy, 2) by Dorine White (my review):

The world seemed to dim like a black hole around Melanie, and she felt as if her soul was being ripped from her body by gnarly claws. She placed her hand over her heart , trying to calm the marching band in her chest and allow some air into her lungs. page 35
