Set the Stars Alight

Elara Blackwood (El) is a shy Ravenclaw who spends her nights in the Astronomy Tower, finding solace in the stars. Beneath her quiet exterior is a girl haunted by a past filled with loss, grief, and the fear of letting anyone in. She keeps her walls high-especially when it comes to Theo Nott.

Theo is the brooding, rebellious Slytherin known for his bad boy image. He hides his vulnerability behind smoke and alcohol, running from the memories of a broken home. When his family forces him into an arranged marriage, Theo knows he's at a crossroads-continue living for his family's expectations, or break free and choose what makes him happy.

What he doesn't expect is Elara.

When their worlds collide in the Astronomy Tower, their unlikely friendship begins to blossom into something more. But their bond isn't without its complications. Both carry deep scars from their pasts, and both fear that letting their walls down will expose the parts of themselves they've spent years trying to bury.

When Theo makes a life-altering decision to choose Elara over everything he's ever known, they face not only the judgment of their peers but the weight of the choices that will define their futures. But in a world full of expectations and obligations, can love truly conquer all, or will the past tear them apart?
