Teaser Tuesday - Bones of the Hills by Conn Iggulden


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!



This week my teaser comes from Bones of the Hills, the third book in the Conqueror series, which is about Genghis Khan. The teaser comes from page 277:


He could have cursed Chakahai for spoiling the day, but it had been a short break from the bloody work he faced. He felt his mind begin to fill with the plans and stratagems he needed, settling into the cold rhythms that would take cities and scour the sands clean of all who resisted them.


Sounds pretty fearsome doesn't he!
