Rainbow Snippets: Asking for the forbidden

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…

He sighed. If only it was that easy. “But you’re right. We do. I want to fix that. Learn of a way to defend myself in such a situation where magic won’t work.”

“Like against a hound?” There was a humorous quirk to the man’s lips now.

He shook his head. If the other hounds fought anything like Tracker, he had no chance of matching their skill. “They’ll leash me once we reach Wintervale. I won’t be able to use my magic unless given sanction.” And all the vibrancy in the world would once again be diminished. All he could hope for was to be treated better as the last spellster in the army’s possession. “If whatever destroyed the tower reaches the capital—”

Tracker held up his hand. “I understand. Correct me if I am wrong, but spellsters learning to fight without magic is not something the army allows.”

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