Civil war has just ended in Israel

The tribe of Benjamin has lost. Only 600 men remain.

An unusual solution is set out: At the annual celebration in Shiloh, any man of Benjamin who can capture a maiden in the dances can keep her.

Aksah knows the reason behind the war. And she is not ready to forgive any of Benjamin. After all, the war started over a murdered woman.

She will not be a captive bride, will not help this unfaithful tribe who would not come to the defense of a helpless woman.

So as she joins the dances, she watches . . .

Eliab hides with his fellows in the vines.

And waits for the signal to rush the dances.

He will do his part to rebuild his tribe. So he needs a wife. And the lovely woman who spots that signal seems to be running right into his trap.

He does not expect a willing wife. But neither does he expect a woman with the will and courage to fight him every step of the way until he can prove his worth.

You will love this tale of romance, redemption, and reconciliation.
