Blaise Miranda
“The skin of his knuckles was shredded, showing bone underneath, as if he’d fought a rock and won. Or more likely, he’d beaten a dozen men to death with his bare hands.”
Blaise Miranda, Drowned Sea: A Dark Fantasy Adventure

H.D.  Smith
“You have your orders,” Mab shouted at the guards. “To the Deeps with her.”
The men led me from the great hall, taking me along a series of corridors to the back of the castle, then winding through another long corridor and into a spiraling stairwell that appeared to have no end. We went further and further down until finally it ended so deep in the ground it felt like a grave. My pulse quickened as we reached the bottom.
A single dark door lay ahead.”
H.D. Smith, Dark Hope
