Dido's Tale

This short story is currently seeking a publisher.

When shipwreck brings the legendary Lord Aeneas to her shores, Queen Dido finds herself first puzzled and then enchanged by the mysterious stranger. Enchantment turns inevitably to a passionate love which Aeneas returns in full, and the two different nations begin to merge into one as she teaches him the ways of her people.

But when the gods demand Aeneas' return to his mission, how will he respond, and what price is Dido willing to pay to change fate?
