Torn between Gideon Prewett's steady kindness and Regulus Black's intense, brooding presence, Winifred's world is anything but simple.
"Both of them?" Lottie blinked, dropping onto Winifred's bed. "Gideon and Regulus? You're actually living in a soap opera."
Winifred groaned, "Don't say it like that."
Regulus, hiding more than he admits, grapples with family expectations and his tangled past with Demi Prewett. "I don't want to lose her. Not like I lost the rest of myself."
Demi, protective and sharp, warns Regulus, "You think you're the only one fighting?"
Through whispered confessions and daring gestures, Regulus tries to prove himself worthy of Winifred's trust. "I'm not perfect," he admits. "But I want to try-for you."
Winifred, fighting her own silent battles, including struggles she hides deep inside, responds quietly, "I'm scared. Not just of you... but of everything I'm fighting every day."
With the Marauders stirring mischief and friendships tested, Shadows & Light is a slow-burning tale of vulnerability, resilience, and the courage to love when the odds seem stacked against you.
James Potter warns, "You'd better be careful, Winifred. Regulus isn't what you think."
But sometimes, what you need most is exactly what scares you the most.
Will Winifred and Regulus find the strength to trust each other-and themselves-before the shadows consume them both?

✦ RITVIKA KAPOOR ✦
A girl who carries the sun in her smile and storms in her silence.
She wasn't raised in riches, but she's richer than most-in love, in softness, in strength. A single mother at 24, her heart beats not just for herself, but for her little girl who calls her "Mumma."
𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 is her language and 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 her comfort-she loves quietly, endures deeply. Every scar has a story, but she chooses not to tell them, only to live past them.
She dreams of love, but doesn't expect it.
She hopes for a miracle, yet walks through life with calm acceptance.
She is a - ❝ Khud se zyada kisi aur ke liye jeene wali ladki. ❞

✦ VIDYUT RAJVANSH ✦
His presence demands silence.
A man built from shadows and steel. Cold eyes, sharp suits, and a reputation darker than the night. He's the kind of man who doesn't flinch at loss, and never looks back once he walks away.
A CEO, a name whispered in fear, a heart hidden behind layers of pain and pride.
Commitments? He avoids them.
Emotions? He shuts them out.
Children? He doesn't do soft things-until Tara calls him "Dadda."
He doesn't believe in second chances,
but somehow, Ritvika feels like the home he never had.
He is a - ❝ Mohabbat se door bhaagne wala, lekin mohabbat mein doobta hua aadmi. ❞
