Instead, I fell through a portal and landed in a mountain village with one very unusual tradition.
Every autumn, the creature sleeping beneath the valley demands a tribute.
This year, that tribute is me.
There are sixty men in the village. Farmers. Smiths. Huntsmen. Quarrymen. Big, rough men who have spent their entire lives waiting for the night when the mountain chooses another woman from my world.
But there’s one rule nobody can break.
I have to choose them.
I can walk away untouched.
Or I can step onto the altar, surrender myself to the village until sunrise, and become the offering that saves them all.
I should be terrified.
I am terrified.
Unfortunately, the wicked little fantasy I’ve kept buried my entire life is very interested in what happens if I say yes.
One village.
Sixty men.
One very long night.
And by the time the final name is crossed from the tally, I might discover that being chosen as the village tribute isn’t a punishment at all.
Especially when next autumn comes around…
and I’m already wondering if they’ll let me volunteer.
