Blog Tour and Giveaway: Quintana of Charyn by Melina Marchetta

 

Hello lovely readers!  As you may know I'm a HUGE fan of Melina Marchetta, so when we were offered to be part of the blog tour for the release of Quintana of Charyn, I immediately signed on!  This tour is hosted by the wonderful ladies over at 132 Minutes.  As part of the tour we are posting an excerpt of Quintana, and not just one but TWO GIVEAWAYS!  One is hosted by this blog and the other by the generous 132 Minutes!  Be sure to fill in both rafflecopters below.  Be sure to visit the other blogs on this tour as they will feature fun things and giveaways of their own.  For a list of all the blogs participating you can click here.

Release Date: March 12, 2013 | Pages: 528 | Publisher: Candlewick Pre-order: Amazon - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository 

Without further ado, I give you the excerpt: 

‘The moment I give the signal, you get on the horse and you ride and you don’t stop riding,’ Froi said, walking behind Beast, who would shield him from the eyes of the riders. He removed his own cloak and cap.

‘What are you planning, Froi?’ Lirah demanded to know.

‘Give me your robe, Gargarin,’ he said again. ‘You want me to make decisions, then trust me.’

‘Why would I trade one misery for another?’ Gargarin demanded, but Froi heard sorrow in his voice.

‘Because the misery standing behind this horse has a better chance of surviving than Arjuro.’

‘No,’Lirah said. ‘No!’

‘These are the options,’ Froi said. ‘Gargarin walks to his death. Arjuro is torn to pieces by four hundred flying arrows.  Or else we all live and later speak about looking on the side of wonder!’

Still Gargarin refused to move.

‘Don’t you trust me?’ Froi asked.

  

Oh wow! It seems like we're going to have a lot of action and characters faced with tough choices.  I can't wait to pick this up!
