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.

Time stretched out as they sat in the cell. Edmund and Peregrine exchanged a few words every so often but, mostly, were silent. At some point Seren propped herself up against another wall with a groan and watched the door, as if she would spring up and protect Edmund if someone came through. Edmund knew she’d want to, but Edmund wasn’t sure Seren was quite steady enough yet.
But no one came through the door.
Edmund’s stomach told him it had been a long time since he’d last eaten. The guards who had dragged them here under Jago’s watchful eye had told them they would be left for a while. Apparently, that meant without food or water.
