The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). 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.
I'm sharing snippets from A Dance of Water and Air, the first book in my Elemental Magicae series. In Dance, Edmund is a prince who must make an alliance marriage with the queen of a neighboring country, but when he arrives there, he finds the queen distant and something very wrong. He begins to grow closer to the queen's brother, Prince Arden...and begins to fall for him. Then Edmund is accused of trying to murder the queen, and he and Arden flee, to save Edmund's life and give them time to figure out what's threatening both of their countries. Dance has trans bisexual and cis demisexual main characters, and though Edmund and Arden are left in a good place, the story continues in A Harmony of Fire and Earth. I'm jumping into these snippets after Edmund has been accused and thrown in a cell in the dungeon with his secretary and personal guard. This snippet follows directly after last week's.
“I do. He’s too honorable to do something so disrespectful. Even if he thought you had done something, he would have spoken to you first.” Peregrine shivered against Edmund’s side. “He’d do that even if he cared nothing for you—that’s the type of man he is—but he obviously cares for you.”
Edmund huffed out a laugh. “I doubt this is the place for that conversation.”
“We’ll have it after we leave here, then.” Peregrine said it as if he were confident that they would get out of this dungeon, and the whole mess it would cause. “I’ll only say that you do know how to make things complicated for yourself. Though I suppose you won’t be making the marriage you planned to make, not after this.”
