She gave herself to the land, but the land demanded a price far more carnal than she ever imagined. In the village of Shatt, a creeping Blight withers crops and starves its people. The elders, desperate, turn to the ancient Harvest Rite-a grim, forgotten ritual that demands a willing soul be given to the earth to appease the malevolent Harvest God. When the lots are drawn, Marianne, a strong-willed weaver, is chosen as the sacrifice.
She braces herself for a swift, painless end, a final surrender for the survival of her home. But the Harvest God is no simple monster.

He demands a consort, a mortal queen to share his power and become a part of his primordial essence. In a terrifying union of raw, elemental power and forbidden desire, Marianne is bound to the God, becoming a vessel for his will.
Each night, she must return to him, a sacrifice of lust for a harvest of life.
