In this, the THIRD BOOK of The Marauders Order of the Phoenix, the war seems far away as the Marauders continue to grow-up, try to recover from the losses they've suffered, and the ones they know are yet come... While caring for Dora Potter, James and Lily struggle to add to the wizarding world's population, even as it seems everyone else in the world is able to do so with no problem! James works on becoming a Quidditch Trainer while Lily's Magique Amour grows ever stronger. Peter has made some new friends with familiar faces, similar grudges, and questionable morals... Meanwhile, in decades apart, similar stories are weaving through the lives of our precious Wolfstar as Sirius and Remus spend a pair of turbulent summers. Sirius is on the run from the Ministry's prying eyes while Remus is busy making art, music... and maybe even a little bit of love.

The times they are a-changin'... as James and Lily Potter move into their new home in Godric's Hollow, the Marauders are living apart for the first time since they were ickle firsties! And there's certainly an adjustment period to that... Not to mention this pesky Voldemort business - Regulus on the run from the Dark Lord, even as he searches for the answer to his burning question of what the bloody hell a horcrux is? Then there's the small matter of James Potter's resignation from the Ministry... Meanwhile, in 1993 - or 1994 the New Year turns over, Remus begins his work with James (no, not James - Harry!)in producing a patronus to protect against the dementors on the grounds at Hogwarts... And Sirius Black says that he isn't there to kill Harry and that things aren't what Remus has come to believe... But can Remus trust the old dog - even with his own broken heart?

Gone are the carefree school days, as a new era begins in the lives of the Marauders. Voldemort's powers are ever increasing and the days are getting dark for all the wizarding world. James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, along with their friends, will discover all of the hopes and fears of fighting - not only against the dark magic of the rising regime, but also against the trials and troubles of becoming grown up.
