Eternally Mine

When Mai Thao is arranged a marriage to a man she doesn't know or love, her mother warns her to stay away from the rivers, as they hold entities that could prevent you from having babies. "Look at your sisters," her mama said. "Years of marriage and not a single baby to hold." But on the day of her wedding, Mai Thao lingers in the river and sees a handsome man lingering in the depths of the waters. At night, when she turns home, she comes to dream of him only to realize her husband is someone whose gifts are meant to protect those who seek to destroy her spiritually.
