Hey everyone!
It is time for this week’s First Lines Fridays post!

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
The first lines of today’s chosen book are:
Though the night is flush with stars, the sky still seems like a lid of earth closing atop a grave.
It’s a fate that could be mine, should anyone see me sneaking from my home at this hour – a fate reserved for criminals and traitors, rebels and liars.
And the book is…

Witches Steeped In Gold by Ciannon Smart

GoodReads Synopsis:
Divided by their order. United by their vengeance.
Iraya has spent her life in a cell, but every day brings her closer to freedom – and vengeance.
Jazmyne is the Queen’s daughter, but unlike her sister before her, she has no intention of dying to strengthen her mother’s power.
Sworn enemies, these two witches enter a precarious alliance to take down a mutual threat. But power is intoxicating, revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is certain – except the lengths they will go to win this game.
This Jamaican-inspired fantasy debut about two enemy witches who must enter into a deadly alliance to take down a common enemy has the twisted cat-and-mouse of Killing Eve with the richly imagined fantasy world of Furyborn and Ember in the Ashes.
I recently bought a copy of Witches Steeped In Gold after seeing it all over social media! This book sounds incredible, and a few friends and I have already planned to buddy read it in June. I can not wait!
Have you read this book?
If yes, what did you think of it?
