Quotes by J.M.D. Reid (?)

“Screeching in frustration, she threw a punch at Tshar Ruan. Her fist struck the swarthy woman in the face before Ruan could react. Her head snapped to the side. Pain burst across Vounée’s knuckles. She gasped like she had just struck stone. Ruan worked her jaw and glared at the girl. “You are making this more difficult.” “Sorry,” Vounée hissed. “No, wait, you’re kidnapping me! I should do this!” She kicked the woman in the shin.”
― J.M.D. Reid, Shadow of the Dragons Box Set: An Epic Fantasy Saga, Books 1-3
