Death's supposed to be final. But a true Black doesn't bow down to any rule, not even that one. Aurora was rescued from dying, caught by her mother, by magic, by a golden glow cast by an angel. Finally back, things have drastically changed. Lord Voldemort's inevitable return has arrived and it seems Aurora was brought back for a reason. She might have been brought back by the light but it was the darkness she came back for. Darkness in the shape of a very attractive young man who leads Aurora further and further away from her past and towards a future she might not be ready for. So while Britain is busy denying the return of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Harry has some obvious problems with his mental health and Dumbledore sets his masterplan in motion, Aurora tries very hard to become what is expected of her after her world has been turned upside down. ~~~ The Princess of Light is the fifth book in the Artemis Lupin series. I recommend you read the other four books first. She was used to investigating mysteries on her own. People were untrustworthy. They lied. They tried to change the past. But the past couldn't be changed. Her own past was complicated. Especially because she wasn't the one hiding it, it was kept from her. For a good reason, they thought. The dream was her only lead. The only way to figure it all out. The dream was simply the end of a curse and the beginning of a nightmare. Because some secrets are better kept secret. The web of lies and deceit only got more complicated. Familymembers talked out of turn. The wise man was far too interested and the dark saw the truth in her eyes. Because her dream was simply the story. The story of betrayal, friendship but mostly death. But the thing that could ruin it all, was the very thing they couldn't change. It was the only truth in the past of lies. Her grey eyes and his black blood. ~started august 2018 - completed 28 december 2018~ *All rights to the Harry Potter universe go to J.K. Rowling.*

Power was shifting. Magic soared through the air. Anger turned into a storm. It was coming. When asked about their fourth year, a few decades later, Elizabeth described it as the year where she found out how great falling in love with the player felt. Victoria saw it as the year where she first realised how many different kinds of love there were. Harry's memory had turned it into a year of extreme jealousy and Hermione's into one of heartbreak. But when people would ask Aurora what it felt like to be fourteen, she said: "I was fourteen when my world was truly turned upside down. And only one person could put it right again. Unfortunately, that person wasn't me, because I had lost." ~~~ The competing championd is the fourth book in the Artemis Lupin series. I recommend you read the other three first.

Fear strikes the hearts. Doubt enters the minds and trust is the one thing they need but can't find. Harry hears voices. A voice coming from the walls, whispering words that shouldn't be spoken. Something has been set loose. Something that should've never entered the grounds in the first place. Something that shouldn't even exist. People get suspicious. Is Harry to blame? Artemis wants to help him clear his name, but she soon finds her mind preoccupied with her own problems. Old doubts have resurfaced after her family gets torn apart. Parts of her history are revealed. Everyone has been lying to her and Artemis starts doubting everything she knew until now. Because being yourself is hard when you don't know who you are. The dream was the beginning. The mark was the clue. And the woman in the mirror was the answer. ~~~ The woman in the mirror is the second book in the Artemis Lupin series.
