" He was staring down at her and she started anew at the vision of the man; he was without his helm and it was her first clear glimpse of him. He had a granite jaw and long nose, and was relatively young and unmarred for one with such a ghastly reputation. His dual-colored eyes were still unnerving and dark brows arched intelligently over them. His hair, unrestrained by the helm, felt to his shoulders in a slick, dark sheet that reflected the light like a raven’s wing. He was not unhandsome in the least and that surprised her. For a man of such reputation, she had expected a beast. "
