Rainbow Snippets: Justified outrage?

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. The cover is now out, too. Check out the previous post for the full version.

Following on from last week’s snippet…

“You arrogant prick!” Authril bellowed.

Dylan sat upright, his shield flickering for a brief moment. He stared warily at the tent entrance, waiting for the warrior to burst in and complain how his lack of movement was holding them back.

“What if you’d fallen asleep?” she continued to roar. “What if the people who attacked the tower were still near? We could’ve all died because of your arrogance.”

Sluggishly, his mind realised he wasn’t the target of her outrage.

He crept closer to the tent flap as the warrior raved on. Tracker had taken Dylan’s own watch to let him sleep, but he’d no idea the hound would also choose to alleviate Authril of the duty, especially as they didn’t seem to harbour any sort of camaraderie towards each other.

I’ll be back with more from In Love and Death next weekend. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
