Beneath a Midnight Moon
“The end of the noose around his neck was also secured to the iron bar to discourage him from turning into the wolf. Should he do so, the noose would tighten, and he would be left hanging in midair while the rope choked the life from his body.
How long had it been since Kylene had stood in this very room, in this very spot? How long since the Executioner had laid a whip across her tender flesh?
Hardane’s hands curled into tight fists as he stared into the eyes of the man who had replaced the for...mer Executioner. He was a tall man with a long narrow face and cruel brown eyes. But he was a master with the long black whip in his hand.

At other times, the lash cracked through the air to land with sickening force across his bare back, cutting deep into sweat-sheened flesh and quivering muscle.
He was a man who enjoyed his work, this new Executioner, Hardane had to give him that.MoreLess
