The Conqueror

Gabriel the Conqueror had executed his plans to perfection. In less than a day, the prosperous city of Ilendia was under his control, and his people finally had a chance at a better life, away from the barbaric lands of his home country. All that remained to seal the deal was to take the Daughter of Ilendia as his wife.

And that's where the problems begin. Because the Lady Brennan is far from the docile wife Gabriel had been expecting. She's strong and untameable, and refuses to bow to his commands. And unfortunately for Gabriel, she's Ilendian to the core. He must win her favor to ever have a chance at being loved by the Ilendians. With the threat of war on their borders, can Gabriel ever manage to make his new wife love him? Or will he lose his heart first?

Please note: this story contains quite a bit of modern slang. The reason for this is because I wanted to portray the Ilendians as a more free-spirited, casual type of people. So this story is not historically accurate in any way. I just loved the idea of having modern behavior and vocab in a medieval setting haha. Hope you enjoy!
