Here are the 7 sentences from page 77 of DAUGHTER OF THE MOON:
Selina stood on the
shore of the river watching the canoe glide toward her. A short figure, robed
from head to toe in dark velvet, was its only cargo. She’d been watching for
awhile, trying to decide what to do. One moment she itched for the safety of
the trees, the next she wanted to call out to the man in the boat.
As
he neared the shore, he lifted his long staff from the water and the canoe came
to an abrupt halt. Murky, blue light drifted from a lantern swinging from the
vessel’s bow, washing Selina in its melancholy hue. She tucked her iPod into a
pocket and stepped forward.

This is pretty interesting. I like how it feels so old worldy, but she has an iPod. And I love "melancholy hue."
