(NOTE: This story takes place in a Native American style tribe, in forests similar to those which played home to Pocahontas in Disney.)

For many years the tribes of White River and Evergreen fought amongst the great trees of their lush homeland. Hundreds of men and women were killed on the banks of the great White River, staining the surging waters of the Gift of the Gods, which had been sent to give life to the people of the forest. They fought so long that neither side remembered why they had begun to fight in the first place. It took two strong chiefs most of their lives to finally give up their pride and call an end to the violence.

Unfortunately for Sweet Water, daughter of the Chief of the White River People, the sudden peace has brought an end to her freedom, and denied her all hope of choosing her own future. To seal the bond of peace, Sweet Water was promised to the eldest son of Evergreen’s Chieftain. Forced to leave behind her land, her people, the girl who once sought peace in all things finds herself wishing that the war had never ended.

Now, Sweet Water must learn to live among a people she does not understand, speak a tongue she can barely comprehend, and hopefully, love a man she has never seen except across the bloodstained fields of hate. Without the basic foundation of trust, can Sweet Water and her new husband overcome their differences and, together, do what must be done to secure the treaty for both their Tribes? Or will this young relationship drag White River and Evergreen alike deeper into the black pits of war?
