Teaser Tuesday - Hero of Rome

Teaser Tuesday is a meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

Rules for participating:

• 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!

 My teaser is from Hero of Rome by Douglas Jackson. It is the first of his books that I have had the chance of reading.  Already I have decided I want to read others he has written.

Valerius stared at the remains of the chicken but all he saw was a heap of feathers and a mess of entrails and watery blood.

Was the boy talking about his pursuit of the girl, or the path that would take him back to Rome against his will?
