Tribute to the Forest God

In the wilds of Maine, I ran—away from my family's plans for me. Away from the boy they meant to "e;master"e; me, and straight into the camp of strangers preparing to honor the Forest god, paying tribute in hopes of securing his blessing.When I stumbled into their camp, they saw something in me—something that made them believe I could be the one, the chosen tribute, worthy of receiving the god's seed to create a new magical generation. But I've never been with a man, let alone a god. Was I truly worthy of such a fate?Then he appeared. Tall, powerful, and commanding presence; my heart raced with a mixture of fear and desire. As he looked at me, I dared to hope that not only would I be chosen, but that I could become a goddess to remain his forever.
