Rainbow Snippets: Three drowned rats…

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…

“That is also possible.” Places like Lynhold were rarely visited by the King’s Hounds unless summoned. If the woman’s magic was slight enough to go unnoticed by the average person, or even beneficial to the people, no one would’ve sought to be rid of her. “Still, you witnessed this destruction as a child and permitted a spellster into your home.”

She laughed. “I gave shelter to the three drowned rats I found on my doorstep. Knew he was a spellster, of course, those damn robes the army puts them in marks him from across a field. Looked pathetic enough that didn’t really think about that what he was capable of. Besides, without them, I wouldn’t have known the Udyneans had destroyed the army.” She fell silent for a few steps, likely thinking of just how much death would’ve been wrought for such an occurrence.

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