Rainbow Snippets: Unwanted questions…

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…

Nodding almost absently, she scuffed her boot along the ground, leaving a line of dry soil amongst the leaf-litter. “And have you told him? About Authril?”

“You mean what our dear warrior said in the tower? Not as yet.” It was still too early. “But that cannot be why you brought me out here.” Such a question could’ve easily been asked whilst changing their shifts on watch, when both Dylan and Authril were asleep. Insisting in front of the others that he vanish into the forest with her would bring questions upon their return.

Marin shook her head, her lips flattening into a grim line. “It’s not. I need you to see something.” She pushed on through the undergrowth. “This way.”

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