Third Daughter (The Dharian Affairs, Book One) (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
A dozen passenger cars gleamed in the morning sun, the burnished red wood almost as bright as the brass. The train station bustled with passengers and their cargo. The two aft-most cars had been sectioned off, cleared for Prince Malik’s return to Jungali. And Aniri’s first trip beyond the borders of Dharia. The daylong train ride would take them through Dharia’s rolling farms and fertile fields, the ones that fed the world with their abundance. Aniri felt that excess more keenly as she surveyed the dozens of trunks being loaded into the baggage car by the Queen’s servants. It was an embarrassment of riches compared to the prince and his tiny entourage, which consisted solely of the prince and his bulky attendant. They stood near his train car, consulting about something in earnest. Unlike earlier, his guard was now heavily armed with a wide-barreled flintlock pistol strapped to his leg and twin daggers sheathed at the small of his back. The prince similarly carried both a sword and a bronze-handled dagger strapped to his waist.
