Effective opening lines can also tell us about the struggle of the protagonist whose adventure we are about to follow...

"There was once a young man who wished to gain his Heart's Desire."

A great opening line invites the reader in by suggesting a new adventure waits ahead, hence engaging their curiosity...

"In the dungeons the darkness was complete, but Katsa had a map in her mind."
-Graceling by Kristing Cashore

@PaigeEwing debut novel, Precise Oaths, is an amazing urban fantasy story, action packed with humor and romance.

And I loved it!
