Rainbow Snippets: On no maps…

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…

Tracker shrugged. “It is always nice to have more than a passing acquaintance with travelling companions.” If she didn’t wish to speak of the past, he would push only to confirm the details she’d already freely given. “You spoke of your home being burnt to the ground by Udyneans. Your village was on the border, yes?” Or what had once been the border. If the empire had succeeded in their invasion back when she was a child, then the land was well and truly under their control.

Her smile fell and her gaze drifted to the forest ahead. “Damn elven hearing,” she muttered under her breath before speaking louder, “It was. Nothing extravagant or anything, just a hamlet south of Toptower and a little north of the Udynean border.” She kicked a pinecone into the brush. “You won’t find it on most maps nowadays.”

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