Teaser Tuesday - Dael and the Painted People


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • 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!
Dael and the Painted People (Book 3 in the Zan-Gah Series)
"The nightly tribal rituals of drums and flutes, playing to the setting sun, became for Dael a battery of sensations too intense to endure. Twice, while the drummers were communicating with the glowing orb- for Dael of a color more brilliant then blood- he fainted away, writhing, groaning, and speaking in a tongue his adopted people did not understand." Dael and the Painted People by Allan Richard Shickman (Book 3 in Zan-Gah Series)

I devoured this book as soon as I got it.  I love this little known prehistoric series about Zan-Gah and his brother Dael.
