The Conqueror's Wife

Emperor Dijon’s decision to bring in the stray woman from the streets of his newly conquered kingdom is as baffling to his Generals as it is to him. He intends for the whole experience to be a mere entertainment, a distraction from the many travails of his campaign through the desert but the little woman turns out to be a spit fire. One that he finds difficult to handle, yet she intrigues him. She arouses him as much as she infuriates him, yet, there is something even she cannot see, he recognizes the hunger in her eyes, the urge to destroy, conquer. They might have more in common than she actually thinks.
