For example in "King of Scars" by Leigh Bardugo it reads: "At the foot of the Petrazoi lies a small swamp that smells potently of feet and rancid cooking oil. It is known as the Armpit and its fumes cause dizzy spells, vomiting, and fervent prayers to Sankt Bozkho the Minty. Forced to camp there overnight and desperate for relief, an army regiment begged a passing witch for help. A generous sort, she cut off their noses and replaced them with crow beaks and they were grateful for it. Steal this book and you will stink worse than this swamp and no passing witch will help you."
In "All the Stars and Teeth" by Adalyn Grace it reads: "There was once a mermaid who loved nothing more than a beautiful conch shell she brought with her everywhere. A sailor, noticing her affection for the conch, stole it. He believed he could trick the mermaid into thinking she'd lost her prized possession, and that she would fall in love with him once he returned it to her. But the mermaid was too clever for his tricks. She shed her fins in favor of feet and went ashore to hunt the sailor down. Upon finding him, she ripped out his heart, ate it, then returned to the sea with her conch in hand. This book is protected by mermaids. Steal it, and you best watch your heart."
I just think it's cool. Are there any you know of?

The Bane and the Banished (Wit’ch Fire by James Clemens is the first one I think). Not much of a copyright but more of a contract?
