Rainbow Snippets: Lynhold…

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…

“Lynhold. I remember hearing about it as a boy.” The recollection was faint, mere mentions amongst older hounds whilst they oversaw the training young. Even without the empire trumping them so deftly, Udynea gnawed at Demarn’s border like rats plundering a silo. Settlements too small to defend against magic became little more than rubble and a smudge in history. An isolated place like Lynhold would’ve had no chance.

“My grandfather used to say the place was doomed from the day they let the hounds drag away this pregnant elven woman.”

“She would have carried a spellster child.”

Marin shook her head. “It was years before I was born, but the way they spoke, I think she was the spellster.”

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