The Friday 56: The Silent Deal by Levi Stack


Welcome to The Friday 56, a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice.

These are the rules:
1. Grab a book, any book.
2. Turn to page 56, or 56% on your eReader.
3. Find any sentence (or a few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
4. Post it.
5. Add the URL to your post in the link on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post.



"Look!" said Romulus. "We know the Leopard banned the cards, and we know something's happening in Staryi Castle. If we could just get in—" 

"You're mad if you think I'm going to break into the castle! Especially when so many people know about the king of spades: Lady Nutrix, Kamdrac, the Crossbones Clan, the girls—they can turn on us anytime they want!" 

"But they won't!" Romulus argued. 

"I don't care. It's time. We must talk to your grandmother." 

"I told you a hundred times: That's—not—an option."

  1. My interest is definitely piqued, and I'm wondering how the author used a deck of cards in creating his story.
    My Friday post features THE 13 OF HEARTS.

  3. This one sounds interesting. I'm curious why talking to the grandmother is so definitely not an option!

  6. His grandmother must be pretty powerful if he is resisting going to her for help. Sounds like an interesting story.
    Happy weekend!
