Rainbow Snippets: Part of his pack…

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…

“If I’m not mistaken,” Marin said, having gone no further than the branch. “They’re part of your pack.”

“They are.” The wildlife had done a good job of destroying individual features, but a few pieces of clothing were intact enough to be marked as the distinctive attire of the King’s Hounds.

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