Rainbow Snippets: Whisper…

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…

The glint of a jewelled pommel caught his eye. He trod deeper into the ditch, picking his way through offal and dismembered limbs, to pluck the weapon from its sheath. The dagger sported a narrow blade, perfect for slipping between ribs. An intricate rope etching bound the hilt, with a generous dark blue stone gracing the top.

He knew the owner of this blade, had seen the man polishing it numerous times in his youth. Whisper. A gentle soul who had spent much of his life running the hound station in Oldmarsh.

The last he’d heard of the old hound’s whereabouts had been directly from the man’s lover. Left months ago. Answering the call for all of them to head for Wintervale, an order Tracker had directly refused.

How had Whisper ended up here?

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