The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.
Life got in the way and I missed a couple of weeks of posting Rainbow Snippets, but I'm starting up again and switching over to snippets from To Love the Dragon King, which came out one year ago this month.To Love the Dragon King is the first book of my Dragons of Ivria series (I promise I'm working on the second book and it will be out as soon as possible!). King Lysander has discovered a treasonous plot against his country and himself and, with the help of his most trusted confidantes, is trying to find all the conspirators before they can put more people in danger. Along the way, he meets Sascha, a beautiful man who is being used as a pawn in the plot against Ivria. Lysander is immediately attracted to him, but can he trust someone connected to traitors? This week's snippet directly follows last week's.
“The commander seems to have the situation well in hand.” Someone sighed softly behind him, the sound almost inaudible—and probably meant to be—among the noise echoing in the room. Likely Kirill, but Romilly was behind him too. Neither was a soldier or fighter, but they were two of his best negotiators and diplomats and they had discovered the treasonous plot that brought them here today. They were also both leaving Ivria soon, and though they would be well placed, he would be sad to lose them here. But he would use their skills and minds for the time they remained in Ivria.
The soldiers were imposing order rapidly, herding frightened but cooperating servants in one direction, coming and going with reports for Alan. Faint sounds of conflict came from somewhere beyond the entry hall, and Alan dispatched more soldiers in that direction before returning to Lysander.
Thanks for reading today!
