This book is set in England and Russia around the time of the Crimean War.
"But Kirov is the Emperor's man, through and through, and you mustn't believe everything he says. Oh, he believe it all right - and I dare say the Emperor even believes it himself. There's an honourable precedent for rulers not to let one half of themselves know what the other half is thinking."Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

Sounds intriguing. Haven't heard of this trilogy before, but now I'm interested. Excellent teaser!
ReplyDeleteHere's my tease.
Great tesers! Thank you for stopping by my blog
ReplyDeleteGood one -- it's true that rulers often turn a blind eye to some truths. I guess you can't be or do everything. I haven't (yet?) given this trilogy a try.
ReplyDeleteOOO nice teaser :) and thanx for dropping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. What kind of "honourable precedent" is that ? LOL.
ReplyDeleteLol, great teaser! I've read much good about this serie.

ReplyDeleteWhat is it that the king believes so much? Very intriguing teaser

http://thebookgatherer.blogspot.com/2011/03/teaser-tuesday.html
An intriguing teaser. I don't usually read this type of book but I might just try this one!
ReplyDeleteSo, who's doing the thinking and who's leading the country :) I love it when reading a book is such a wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by -- Call my shallow, or something, but being the visual person I am, your blog/colors welcomed me and I am subscribing to your posts. (And I don't even care for the color purple :)
A trilogy is manageable. Her other series is so long! Maybe I will start here...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read something by this author - I think it was her other series that's so long that I wanted to read but they weren't in ebooks. This sounds interesting as well.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThnx for stopping by my blog!
you choose a great teaser!

Sounds interesting!! Thanks for stopping by SunnyReads!!
ReplyDeleteNever let the right hand know what the left hand is doing? Not my favorite kind of people, but a great teaser.
ReplyDeleteThe Crimean War?! That's not exactly a popular setting, kudos to the author for using it.
ReplyDeleteMan, this sounds like a really interesting trilogy! I wanted to read some historical fiction for a while (it is HF, right?^^)
ReplyDeleteCrimean War.. gotta read it soon!
Great teaser pick, worked on me for sure!
(new follower!)
Haha I like that one. :-) Good pick. Looks like a book I'd like to read.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
I'm yet to read Harrod-Eagles, but I really should. Her books sound so interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteThat might cause some problems!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser - I haven't read this trilogy despite the fact it's in the library.

ReplyDeleteJess @ Gone with the Words
Great teaser! I always like when the second book in a series lives up to my expectations.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do like books with Asian flavors and Emperors and stuff. I'll have to scout out your review! Thanks for introducing this book to me, and also for stopping by my TT! I agree with you--I'd HATE it if my dad bethrothed me in today's world, though maybe I wouldn't have minded back in the day... Who knows?
ReplyDeleteRulers do tend to do that! Nice teaser ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by mine! :)
This sounds like another of her numerous books to check out. I've only read one so far but I really enjoyed it.
