Princess In A Strange New Land (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
A grand hall had been filled with artefacts from the New World, and they were displayed on pedestals around the room. Noblemen and women wandered about, pointing at and cooing over various things. The Inuit delegates politely toured the display, nodding when each item was presented to them. But when Akna arrived with her head held high and her hand threaded through the crook of Sir John Frederick’s arm, all eyes were on them. She was dressed in the blue-and-silver silk dress that John had had made for her, and she radiated the confidence and regal air of a Northern princess. As they walked across the room arm in arm to join the delegation, they left a chorus of whispers in their wake, some admiring and others jealous. The pair ignored them all. They paused to curtsy and bow before the king, who greeted them warmly. “Welcome,” King George boomed proudly. “Please enjoy this last gift.” Akna inclined her head politely and turned to survey the exhibit. Her smile was stiff, but she relaxed as John gave her hand a squeeze and led her away.
