Hidden Behind Shadows // Sebastian Sallow

He's the boy she doesn't trust. She's the girl who challenges everything he stands for. But when secrets as deep as the Hogwarts dungeons begin to surface, they may be each other's only salvation.

Liliana Watson isn't one to shy away from a challenge. A Ravenclaw prefect with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for exploring the world's mysteries, she's as brave as she is curious. But when her mother's unexplained disappearance begins to weigh on her, Liliana finds herself drawn into questions even she might not be ready to answer.

Enter Sebastian Sallow: infuriatingly clever, undeniably reckless, and Hogwarts' most notorious rule-breaker. He's the last person she'd ever team up with, but when their paths cross in the shadowy halls of the Restricted Section, they strike a deal: she'll look the other way on his escapades if he helps her uncover the truth about her mother.

Their reluctant partnership sparks more than they bargained for. Late-night ventures into forbidden places test not only their courage but the thin line between rivalry and something more. Sebastian's obsession with forbidden magic and Liliana's refusal to compromise her values put them at odds, but every whispered secret and shared glance threatens to break down the walls they've built.

With danger and truths that could shatter everything Liliana thought she knew lurking, the two must decide: can they trust each other with their darkest secrets-or will they end up tearing each other apart?

Enemies to lovers. Forbidden places. A boy with a dangerous charm. A girl with a mystery to solve. And a connection neither of them is ready to face.
