Anarchist Underground deleted scene - Chapter 9 Bryn's POV
DELETED SCENE!
When I first wrote Anarchist Underground, I intended to write the entire story from dual POVs, featuring chapters from both Aela and Bryn’s perspectives. However, as I progressed I realised that Aela’s voice alone made for a much more compelling story. I felt that Bryn’s perspective didn’t leave enough to the imagination. Seeing him only through Aela's eyes made for a much better mystery.
Unfortunately for me (but maybe fortunately for you), I realised this only after I’d already written a LOT of content from Bryn’s perspective. It’s fun, so I’m releasing it now. If you haven’t read Underground in its entirety, I recommend doing that first, as this content contains some spoilers.
This scene takes place just before and during Chapter Nine, as I originally wrote the bath scene from Bryn's perspective. Without further ado, enjoy a first glimpse inside Bryn’s head!

Bryn counted ten seconds after knocking, then pushed open the door to Bowie’s room. It collided with a string of items strewn across the carpet. Typical. The kid’s room was always a tip. Bryn closed the door behind himself and picked up the spring-loaded dagger contraption lying discarded at his feet, examining it with a frown. Bowie only survived the fight in the Devil’s Tongue tonight because of this thing. Bryn hadn’t protected him.

Anarchist Underground is LIVE! Read Chapter One free
I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but my debut novel, Anarchist Underground, is now LIVE on Amazon and KU!
What began as a side project while I was writing another fantasy duology (which I will release one day) back in 2017 is now a fully-formed epic fantasy adventure that I am so damn proud of! I love these characters and this world, which I've filled with all of my favourite book tropes: enemies to lovers, found family, criminal gangs, sword fighting, secret identities, political intrigue with PLOT TWISTS APLENTY! I cannot wait for you to read and enjoy this world.
I've loved seeing some reviews roll in, and some of the wild DMs I've received, reacting to ... um ... certain scenes, have absolutely made my day!
If you'd like to sample the goods before committing to a purchase from this brand new author, that's totally fine! I've released a free epub of Chapter One on my website:

Thanks for giving my story a chance. Have fun in Underground!
