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 follows directly after last week's.
“Your Majesty, if you and Master Kirill and Honorable Romilly would please come with me?” Alan gestured toward the left. “Jannik has been located, but some of his guards are fighting back, and it would be safer for you to not be in the open.”
“We’re hardly defenseless, Commander.” He, Kirill, and Romilly all had the dragon Talent in sufficient strength to allow them to transform into dragons—which was how they’d all come here.
“I’m aware, Your Majesty, but as the king, you should not take unnecessary risks.” Alan stared at him levelly. “Let us do our work.”
He’d been king long enough to know there were times when risk was avoidable and times when it wasn’t. This situation wasn’t one where he had to go charging into battle. His part would come after. “Fine.”
