After the devastation of the Second Wizarding War, George Weasley is left to navigate a world without his twin, Fred. Grieving in silence, he isolates himself, unwilling to let anyone in. When he meets Maris Fawley, a quiet, strong-willed young woman still haunted by her own losses, George is intrigued but adamant that he doesn't need anyone to heal.
Maris, the 22-year-old sister in a family trying to rebuild after the war, understands the weight of grief all too well. Though George initially keeps her at arm's length, the bond between them grows, and she becomes a lifeline he never expected. Together, they learn that grief isn't something to overcome but something to carry, finding solace in each other's presence and in the strength they give one another.
As they fall deeply in love, their journey is an emotional roller coaster, filled with the weight of loss, the vulnerability of love, and the quiet acceptance of healing together. Can they learn to lean on each other without losing themselves? Or will the shadows of their pasts prove too much to bear?
In the Wake of Stars is a heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and the courage to move forward, even when the stars seem dim.
