Ancient Magic has returned, and Amara Larkwood is at the center of it-celebrated, feared, and watched.
But she is not the only one.
Sebastian Sallow has always been by her side. Until he wasn't.
Something changed after fifth year-a distance neither of them could cross. Now, as shadows rise and whispers of power grow louder, the world threatens to tear them even further apart.
Because Amara is being hunted for her magic.
And Sebastian-he is becoming something else entirely.
Haunted by the past, consumed by a curse that still lingers, Sebastian searches for a way to save his sister-no matter the cost.
Together, they must fight for survival, for the truth, and for what remains of the bond they once had.
But when the world pulls them apart, will they find their way back-or be lost to each other forever?

The Sun, the Moon, and All Our Stars
Nine years after the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Sebastian Sallow has little hope for a positive future. While serving a life sentence in Azkaban, he managed to escape with the assistance of a terroristic organization of Dark wizards. When the Ministry of Magic eventually caught up with Sebastian, he struck a deal to serve as a double-agent and bring the gang to justice as a means to his freedom. Lonely, traumatized, and depressed, he never imagines his luck will change. But one moonlit night, it does. Fate intervenes in the form of Kate Mayflower, the Hogwarts assistant librarian. Infinitely optimistic and kind, she helps Sebastian find joy and peace again as he regains his humanity and rebuilds his life. While their journey towards happily ever after is a turbulent one, they slowly learn to trust in each other, believe in the power of true love, and heed the lessons from the past in order to grow. Please note: This work is intended for an adult audience and minors should not read. There is a great deal of subject matter inappropriate for children (many spicy scenes, NSFW artwork, violence, various traumatic incidents, etc.). I will do my best to post specific content warnings chapter by chapter. Characters and settings are based on Hogwarts Legacy and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
