Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) random 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 & the author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!

My Teaser:

"In one of its last acts, in 1716, the commission issued a decree intended to prevent further uprisings. Henceforth, it stated, white Carolinians were "not to buy any [Native] male slaves above the age of 14 year," because captive children would be less apt to fight back than adults."
