Ed ecco di nuovo la rubrica settimanale Teaser Tuesday, creata dal blog Should Be Reading, che si divide in poche, semplici fasi:
1_ prendi il libro che stai leggendo
2_ apri una pagina a caso
3_ scrivi un breve brano (stando attenti a non spoilerare)
4_ scrivi titolo e autore

I'm dreaming again. I'm sure of it because Metias is here, and I know he's supposed to be dead. This time I'm ready for it, and I keep a tight rein on my emotions.
 Metias and I are walking in the streets of Pierra. All arounf us, Republic soldiers run around rubble and explosions, but to the two of us, everything seems quiet and slow, like we're watching a movie in extreme slow motion. Showers of dirt and shrapnel from grenades bounce harmlessy off of us. I feel invincible, or invisible. One or the other, maybe both.
 "Something's just not right here," I say to my brother. My eyes go up to the roofs, then back down to the chaotic streets. Where is Anden?
 Metias gives me a thoughtful frown. He walks with his hands behind his back, graceful as any captain ought to be, and the gold tassels on his uniform clink softly together as he goes. "I can tell this scene is bothering you," he replies, scratching at the faint scruff on his chin. Unlike Thomas, he'd always been a little lax about the military's grooming rules. "Talk to me."
 "This scene," I say, pointing around us. "This whole plan. Something is off."
