Rainbow Snippets: Glorified bodyguard

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.

Following on from last week’s snippet…

“You are not the leader here,” Authril grated. “I am.”

“If I may,” Katarina interjected from her place seated by the fire. She hesitated as both elves turned their attention to her. “There might not be a tower, but that surely can’t be enough to change how a King’s Hound has jurisdiction over any spellster caught outside its walls?”

“That’s only relevant when it involves those not in the army,” Authril replied, once more making Tracker the full focus of her sour expression. “If anything, escorting Dylan makes him a glorified bodyguard.”

“What you say about the army is true,” the hound conceded with the shrug. “Wardens have been ranked above us for many years now. But we are not currently in the army and you, my dear warrior, are no warden.”

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