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? In this snippet from chapter one, Lysander has just arrived at the home of one of the conspirators to apprehend him.
Lysander strode into Jannik’s home—his home for the time being, anyway—and surveyed the situation. His soldiers had fanned out at the direction of Alan, Lysander’s cousin and commander of the royal forces, who was still issuing orders from the center of the room. The only others present were several servants in the badge of Jannik’s household, but none were fighting or seemed inclined to do so.
“Are you certain you should’ve come inside already, Your Majesty?” came a respectful voice from behind him. “Perhaps you should wait until Jannik and his family are found and the castle is secured?”
Kirill—and Alan too—would’ve preferred he’d waited at Wyndward for Jannik to be brought to him. Lysander didn’t agree. He wanted to be part of this—and he wanted to see the castle that was now his.
Traitors forfeited their property to the crown, after all.
