Teaser Tuesday's - The House of Velvet and Glass

Teaser Tuesday's is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. To play along, just do the following:

- Grab your current read 
- Open to a random page 
- Share two “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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR list if they like your teaser. 

My teaser this week is from page 23 of Katherine Howe's The House of Velvet and Glass:

The supplicants gasped, each conjuring his own private horror of being submerged in icy water.  Slowly the hand folded itself into a pointing finger, which then rotated in space, aiming at each individual around the table in turn.
