Every year, all girls eligible to become a bride attend the Engagement; a party for single men to impress a future bride and her father. If a girl likes a man enough, her father will then be able to go to him to speak about a marriage. Only then does a man know if he has a wife. 

 I am one of seven who will be there and I pray to the gods that I do not disappoint my family by my choice. 


---

Amaria must attend the Engagement, not only for herself but for her family's future. Pressure from all sides weighs on her shoulders, including a man breathing down her neck for an "I do".

Samson is a god, one of the many in the small country of Molana. His godly identity hidden, he passes as a young, attractive, commander in the king's army. Finally agreeing to go to the Engagement, Samson encounters the biggest battle he would never have expected---the heart of the girl with golden eyes. 

Love brings challenges, especially when an immortal is involved.

His jaw was clenched, his hands were in a fist and his blank eyes were staring into nothingness. I stood there for a whole 1 minute for him to stop me, to hold me in his secure embrace, to clean my teary face but my wishful thinking shattered into millions of pieces when he didn't even passed me a single glance. Turning away with a heavy heart and teary eyes, i walked out of the hospital corridors. Leaning against the cold wall, a heart wrenching sob left my mouth. As soon as i closed my eyes, our lovely moments flashed in my eyes to make me snap open my eyes. Taking some deep breaths to stable my breathless breathing, i looked up in the sky, a silent plead left my mouth.

That proves to be difficult, however, when she meets one special soul and begins to question her 200 year old decision.
