Her hand wound in Shkai'ra's hair, and she tensed to draw the other woman forward onto the glowing iron.

There followed the glowing iron and sharp, cruel knives, the dripping blood.

Then the main torturer advanced, grinning over a glowing branding iron.

Tarn would have liked to ask more questions but the man had already turned his attention back to his forge's glowing iron.
