Teaser Tuesday #36: Shadowfell

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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers

Here's my teaser for the week:

Someone shouted. A man's voice, and now a man's steps, booted feet closing in fast behind me. My heart leapt into my throat. I skidded and slithered and stumbled down the path, fixing my eyes on the dark line that was the bridge. One false step would send me tumbling into the icy waters of the Rush.

I'm not sure about this one. It's moving excruciatingly slowly and after reading several reviews, I'm not sure it's going to pick up. I'm going to give it another chance before I completely give up.
