Rainbow Snippets: Settling in for the night

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…

Marin was off somewhere out in the forest, having checked the strength of her traps whilst on the road. She wouldn’t return until it was close to dark. Even if he had gone with her, he’d no knowledge of how to set a trap, never mind where.

The hedgewitch was busy leafing through the books he’d given her. Just looking at the tomes had his stomach twisting up on itself, he wasn’t certain if he could face reading the pages. Authril sat next to her, getting the fire going and nodding along to whatever Katarina said, her expression one of resigned boredom.

Whereas Tracker…

The hound sat a short distance from the rest, reclining against a tree trunk. He had out one of his many daggers and was busy running a stone along the blade’s edge.

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