Leo returns in disguise to make Tina his empress.
Leo Lowe spent years conquering territory and founding a dynasty to honor the vow he made to Tina Leed before he left their village. Now seated on the throne, he slips back wearing a peasant's coat, determined to bring her to the palace without fanfare. At the settlement's edge a guard bars the way, demanding an entrance fee from every traveler. The sovereign of a realm stands patient, purse in hand, while the woman who holds his promise waits beyond the gate.
