Rainbow Snippets: Would it have helped?

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

How terrified their last moments would have been. And I couldn’t even find them. Not a damn trace!” Magic flickered briefly around the man. A gust of wind Tracker couldn’t feel rustled the surrounding bushes, scattering the wildlife that hadn’t already scurried off at their passing.

“Would it have helped if you had?”

I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
