The Sisterhood: Episode Seven: The Sisterhood, #7

By Tali Inlow

CONTINUE THE JOURNEY IN EPISODE SEVEN

 

Autumn Parish never wanted to be a hero. But as she treks across the desolate Midwest years after the collapse of society, a hero is exactly what she's become: a SHEPHERD, weaving magic from words and guiding people between this life and the next.

 

Summer Norwood rules a wild outpost on the outskirts of what used to be Phoenix, but her grasp on power is fragile. As the SHERIFF, she has a massive target on her back. With evil brewing, she vows not to go down without a fight.

 

In their childhoods, both were students at the Whitmore School for Girls in Appalachia, an elite and intensely secretive SCHOOL where young women were taught how to conquer the world. Those who attended became part of the Sisterhood, a network spanning the globe, their influence and power unparalleled.

 

Desire drew Autumn and Summer together from different worlds, taking them from enemies to lovers at Whitmore. But betrayal ultimately tore them apart. Twenty-five years later, when Autumn receives a magical summons drawing her west, she never expected to be reunited with the woman who betrayed her all those years before. But when Autumn realizes that other members of their Sisterhood are in danger, she may have to put their past where it belongs, teaming up with Summer to save them all.

THE SHEPHERD

AUTUMN IS USED TO WALKING well beyond the time when the sun has set and darkness has enveloped the surrounding land. But September does not have the same long years of experience, nor does she possess Autumn’s profound and generations’-long connection to the earth.

She explains this connection to September. How she walked the night forest barefoot with her grandmother under the light of the full moon, and how her grandfather spent many an evening telling her stories of the animals and how they came to be, of their peoples’ relationship with the plants. Twilight excursions off the beaten paths with her mother, searching for herbs. Trap-setting with her grandfather. And these precious little facts about Autumn would be well-received if not for September nearly twisting her ankle while listening.

Autumn is freer with her stories than she has been with anyone in a very long time. Perhaps ever. But this girl, however unknowing, is strangely deserving of Autumn’s truths, she feels.

If there’s a reason to regret the openness, it has not yet made itself known.

"Shit, Autumn. I understand that you’re, like, some next level Native tracker or whatever. But a girl’s gotta have at least a little light, you know?"
