― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽。⋆

(BOOK 1) Althea Layla Nott stands apart from her family with her gentle heart, unwavering belief in equality, and fierce loyalty to her friends. Regulus Arcturus Black, burdened with the weight of being the Black heir, once shared an unbreakable bond with Althea. Now, they've become strangers, separated by walls Regulus has built around himself. Althea longs to restore their friendship, but the looming war forces them onto opposing sides, compelling them to make choices that will alter their lives forever. In a world where loyalty is tested and alliances shift, Althea and Regulus must navigate their way through treacherous waters, their decisions echoing the promise of either reconciliation or further division. "I look at his dark gaze, aching to lean closer and let our souls touch but it isn't that easy. This one kiss would change everything. We were friends once, then we were nothing, and, now here we stand, on the verge of risking it all. He gives me no time to register his action as he leans closer. I close my eyes and wait to feel his lips against mine but it never happens, instead, he bends his head slightly and plants his lips on my collarbone. I gasp and throw my head back as his lips linger there, the featherlike kiss causes a warm and tingly feeling in my stomach. My mind goes blank, all those thoughts screaming at me to run a moment ago vanished and all I could think about was his soft lips. His other hands join in on my waist and tug me closer, our chest touching as another gasp leaves my mouth. He pulls back and almost immediately I ache for the way his warm lips felt against my skin. Without missing another beat he kisses me again, a little higher this time, and continues planting kisses along my neck, then on my jaw, and planting a last kiss on my lips, barely touching them."

"He was the light she was raised to destroy. She was the shadow he couldn't stop chasing." Velora Amaris Malfoy was born into power, privilege, and silence. The younger sister of Lucius Malfoy, she's expected to be perfect-poised, cruel, untouchable. At Hogwarts, she becomes a Slytherin prodigy: brilliant, feared, and untouchably cold. To everyone else, she's just another blood-purist elite destined to rise through the ranks of the Dark Lord's army. But James Potter sees something else-a spark beneath the ice. What begins as rivalry spirals into obsession: shared detentions, explosive arguments, fleeting glances that linger too long. As war brews and alliances fracture, Velora is pulled deeper into a life she never chose. Branded with the Dark Mark before her seventh year, she becomes a weapon. A spy. A killer. No one can know what she and James have. Not their friends. Not their enemies. Especially not Voldemort. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when Velora begins to hesitate-when she starts to remember what it means to feel-she becomes a liability. Now both sides want her dead. This is not a love story. It's a story of fire and ruin, of blood and betrayal-of two enemies who should have destroyed each other, and the ashes they leave behind.

For Elowen Montgomery, Hogwarts was never just a school-it was a stage she was born into, with expectations stitched into every seam of her robes. As the daughter of two powerful and famously proper wizarding parents, her surname arrives in the Great Hall before she does, whispered behind hands and echoed in narrowed glances. But Elowen is not her parents. Not quite. As she begins her first year, Elowen must learn to navigate the ever-shifting tide of house politics, secret friendships, and the quiet war between who she is expected to be and who she might become. When a quiet boy with sharp eyes and a hidden temper crosses her path-and a stranger's tears unravel a tangle of deeper truths-Elowen realizes Hogwarts isn't just about spells and potions. It's about survival. Legacy is heavy. But Elowen might just be stronger than it.
