Teaser #2

Imagine two peas in a pod. Side by side, their inner surfaces touch. They grow together, yet each has an independent stalk. On that inside edge they dent each other.

For my final teaser I’m combining it with the Bookworm Award that Sharonanne tagged me for! The instructions are pretty similar but instead of my teaser coming from a current read, it should be from the book that’s closest to me at the moment. And rather than a random page, I should find my teaser on Page 56.

Sitting on my desk is my latest pile of library books, so I will choose the book on the top for my teaser.

”The Titans and the Olympians?”
