Unyielding Autumn
(2021)(A book in the Aethercurrent Chronicles: The Baron's Hand Saga series)
A novel by Heather Relken
THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE STORY. This ebook contains my chapter-by-chapter notes of my intention for the events to unfold in books 2 and 3 of Autumn's saga. Only the first 10 or so chapters are actually written, the rest of this is all notes!
Autumn's story was a fan-favorite back from my wattpad days that was requested by readers, so I caved and published it. My intention was to edit the novel up to my current writing standards and split the original story into three books, which would more fully round out the plot and characters. HOWEVER, since publishing the first book, I've unfortunately lost motivation for Autumn's story. Since I have everything outlined, I decided to put the notes together and release that version, so readers can have closure as to the rest of her story. Some chapters have more detailed notes than others, but if you read the first book and are dying to know what happens, I hope my outline will give you enough detail to still get enjoyment out of Autumn's story, and feel the closure you're looking for ♥
Thank you to all my readers who have asked for more of Autumn's story, and for all your understanding and patience in this matter. I might come back and write a scene here or there and update this document with the fully-written content, so be sure to update your doc if you see any changes! A timestamp of the last update will be added to this description when and if I add any new chapter content.
SYNOPSIS:
Autumn has been running for her life and trying to find safety ever since she awoke at an alien auction with no memories of how she arrived there. The courageous and caring alien who helped save her has been at her side ever since, and a sweet, deep love had formed between them. Now securely housed by a group of aliens who seek to save and understand these humans, Autumn and her lover Equinox had thought all would be well.
But just as Autumn has her nightmares, Equinox has his demons--and these aren't far on his trail.
Equinox's injuries leave his fate up in the air, and leave Autumn swimming to juggle her traumas and fears. She dedicates herself to her work--learning Equinox's language, and teaching her own language to the Occodosso aliens who granted them sanctuary. In Equinox's absence, two other men have stepped forward to dedicate themselves to Autumn's care.
Davi and Caelix know Autumn can take care of herself--and would prefer to--but navigating the Occodosso society she's now forced to be a part of requires a bit of insider assistance, and with her worries over Equinox's fate, she could use help for some day to day tasks she's too stubborn to admit--like keeping to a sleep schedule, or eating regularly.
In these chapters we'll see how Autumn adjusts her life in the wake of potential tragedy, how she thinks through what is best for her own romantic life, and scores will be settled with Valdis--the one who caused such strife in the first place.

As always, I promise a happy ending--but as a courtesy, here are some topics mentioned in my notes for that might bother certain readers:

Mentions of PTSD and its affect on Autumn (and her caregivers, as a byproduct)
