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 the previous snippet where Dylan objects to the notion his fighting stance is bad…

“Bad?” Tracker gave a low chuckle. “No, no. It would be better if it were merely bad. Atrocious is a far more fitting description.”

He grimaced. Heat slowly slunk from where it had been pooling in his gut to his face. “Ouch.”

“Perhaps you would be more suited to a dagger.”

Dylan shook his head. He might be able to mimic the moves he’d seen from Marin during the rare times she used her hunting knife to spar with Authril, but a shorter blade would require closeness and a swiftness he hadn’t the knack for.

“Very well. Although, I have not had to teach something quite as basic as this before.”

“Basic?” he echoed. He had left any sort of offensive training behind with his adolescence, but surely his moves weren’t that rusty.

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