It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets! 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+
I'm sharing another autumnal snippet this week, this one from A Dance of Water and Air. In Dance, Prince Edmund must make an alliance marriage with the queen of a neighboring country, but he finds himself falling for her brother instead, and of course, things are not all they seem there anyway. In this snippet, Edmund is making the journey to meet his betrothed.

I'm sharing another autumnal snippet this week, this one from A Dance of Water and Air. In Dance, Prince Edmund must make an alliance marriage with the queen of a neighboring country, but he finds himself falling for her brother instead, and of course, things are not all they seem there anyway. In this snippet, Edmund is making the journey to meet his betrothed.
When they arrived at the border, they were met by a contingent of Aither guards who joined them for the rest of the journey. Edmund’s own guards would see him safely delivered to the castle and then return home, leaving him on his own but for Peregrine and one personal guard. The sense of vulnerability and exposure was odd and unfamiliar—he’d spent his whole life surrounded by guards loyal to his family and kingdom. The idea of not knowing whether he could trust anyone made him uneasy. Logically, he knew they had to protect him, if only to protect their own queen and the alliance she’d made. But it was little comfort, especially with a looming threat to Thalassa.
He found some distraction when the landscape began to change. They climbed upward—rolling hills becoming higher and steeper, air that had been pleasantly warm on the coast taking on the chill of autumn, leaves that had still been green at home changing to red and rust and gold. Edmund’s first sight of the mountains pulled a gasp from him; he might have been embarrassed if Peregrine hadn’t done the same.
