Teaser Tuesday - kinda late!

Maggie Stiefvater has a new book named Ballad coming out October 1st, 2009.  I've read Shiver, and I can't wait to read this one!

Here's a teaser to get your interest up!

He turned towards me. For a long moment, he stood facing me. I was held, anchored to the ground – not by his music, which still called and pushed against the music already in my head and said grow rise follow – but by his strangeness. By his fingers, spread over the ground, holding something into the earth, by his shoulders, squared in a way that spoke of strength and unknowability, and most of all, by the great, thorny antlers that grew from his head, spanning the sky like branches.

 Then he was gone, and I missed his going in the instant that the sun fell off the edge of the hill, abandoning the world to twilight.
