Love in Autumn is a mystical dark fantasy about identity, memory, and forbidden connection, set in a forest where ancient magic whispers through the trees and trust is as fragile as falling leaves.
Apricot, a young dryad bound to the sacred Beating Forest, has lived her life guided by the powerful and omnipotent Tree of the Beating Heart. She remembers only fragments of her past, her dreams blured with grief and loss. When a lone elven bard named Savaan trespasses into her territory, Apricot captures him, prepared to deliver justice. But in the strange stillness between them-in a glance, -something stirs within them. Desire. Compassion. A dangerous pull toward the very things she was raised to hate.
As she wrestles with her loyalty to the Tree and her growing fascination with the elf, Apricot uncovers memories long forgotten and wonders whether her thoughts are truly her own.
Torn between vengeance and vulnerability, Apricot must decide: Will she follow the voice that raised her-or listen to the quiet rhythm of her own heart?

My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke.
