First Line Fridays -- 04.21.17 -- The Sound of Diamonds

Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from

The Sound of Diamonds
by Rachelle Rea (Cobb)

This is book one of the Steadfast Love series.  It is a fantastic young adult historical romance novel.
Add the books to this series to your GOODREADS TBR pile.
Picture
In Reformation-era England, a converted rogue wants to restore his honor at whatever cost. Running from a tortured past, Dirk Godfrey knows he has only one chance at redemption.
An independent Catholic maiden seeking refuge in the Low Countries finds herself at the center of the Iconoclastic Fury. Jaded by tragedy, Gwyneth's only hope of getting home is to trust the man she hates, and she soon discovers her poor vision is not the only thing that has been blinding her.
But the home Gwyneth knew is not what she once thought. When a dark secret and a twisted plot for power collide in a castle masquerading as a haven, will the saint and the sinner hold to hope...or be overcome?

My first line:

Leiden, the Low Countries, the Netherlands
23 Autust 1566


A crash shook the nun's cell I had called my own since seeking refuge in my mother's homeland.

Happy Friday! My first line is: “For a moment she couldn’t breathe, and then the barest whisper passed her lips – half spontaneous praise half simple awe. ‘Oh my… I’ve found Paradise!’ ” From Spring Raine by Delia Latham

The sun is shining bright.
I've got my day ahead of me.
Please help me do what's right."

Great time period! Doesn't seem like there are many books written in that setting.

The line I’m going to share with you here is different than the one featured on my blog post. This book is one that my 9 year old son is currently reading for the second time.
