Is it Tuesday? Teaser Tuesdays

Today I learned about Teaser Tuesdays. Well, this is a meme by MizB at Should Be Reading.

For my very first teaser I chose Dust by Joan Frances Turner, page 16:

"The queen's throne, but of course Her Majesty was nowhere to be seen. Teresa loves to disappear for hours and days at a time, no saying where or why, no saying how she fed."
