Opening Lines:
We paused on our hike, panting and wiping our upper lips as our guide--the old Italian farmer who owned this land--chopped down a small sapling, clearing the overgrown trail. "Ecco, vedi," he said, pointing at the ground. See, here. "See that?" my mom, cried, pushing the tree branch back farther, squatting beside a slightly sculpted limestone paver. Not really expecting a response, she spoke more to herself---or was it Dad's ghost she addressed?--than to us. But the hairs on the back of my neck prickled with echoed excitement. |
Waterfall (The River of Time, Book 1)

Opening Lines:
Mom freaked out when she saw us, of course. I couldn't blame her, with Lia in her medieval gown. And me looking like I'd been mauled by a bear. Especially when two meaty guards were hauling us into Dr. Manero's tent. "It's all right, Mom," I said, hands out, as she rushed toward us. Her face was white. "Lasciateli," she shouted in irritation--let them go--brushing the guards' hands off our arms, staring at the blood on me. |

Opening Lines:
We'd shaken the dust from the gowns the guys had left the three of us and slipped on our "medieval disguises," as I called them, but there wasn't a whole lot we could do for Dad. "Yeah, that's not gonna work out so great," Lia said, staring up at Dad's T-shirt. |

Opening Lines:
"M'lady! They approach!" the guard yelled down to us form the walls. "Thank God," I muttered, taking my first full breath in what seemed like hours. Ever since the battle had ended the night before, Sienese patrols had circulated in and out of Castello Forelli, to drop off wounded, reprovision, rest, and head out again. As the night wore on, and the Fiorentini withdrew north, the patrols were gone for longer periods of time. But Marcello, Luca, and Lord Greco hadn't shown up at all. |

Opening Lines:
"So, what say you, carina?" Luca asked me, calling me his little love. "Did you not promise long ago that if I returned to you from battle, we would speak of certain blue dress?" I laughed under my breath and gripped his arm more tightly, used to his constant teasing. But this specific subject always set me on edge. |
