Three nature priestesses live out their lives in devotion to the forest and its god, Karunnos. Lily, the least-experienced of the priestesses, is finally approved by her elders to take the next step on her journey... to pledge her mind, soul, and most importantly, her body to their god. Such a duty is not for the faint of heart, however, for Karunnos is a virile, bestial creature with an insatiable lust. An 8k word short story focused on steamy, graphic ritual sex between a devoted young priestess and a stag-like forest monster.
